Description
Advantec MFS™ Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Membrane Filter 0.20 µm Pore Size, White, Plain, Nonsterile, 47 mm Diameter, 100/Pk, A020A047AFeatures:
¹ Bubble point is the minimum pressure required to force air through a membrane which has been prewet with water (0.1 µm membranes prewet with isopropanol)² Flow Rate indicates initial flow rate at 10 psi using a KGS 47 filter holder Water: using water prefiltered to 0.1 µm pore size Air: using prefiltered nitrogen at 10 psi³ Porosity refers to the percent open area
- Composition—mixed celluose esters including cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate, also known as nitrocellulose
- High porosity—provides superior flow rates
- High protein binding—can be blocked by pretreatment or utilized in applications
- High purity—triton-free
- Autoclavable—withstands autoclaving temperatures up to 130 °C without adversely affecting bubble point, flow rate or micrbiological recovery
- Rapid wetting time—< 3 seconds to wet a 47 mm diameter disc with aqueous 1% methylene blue
- Filter sterilizing biological fluids
- Microbiology
- Comtamination analysis
- Air monitoring
- Can be transparentized to view collected particles—use compatible liquid (immersion oil, toluene)
