Description
Mixed Cellulose Ester membrane filters are highly effective filtration materials composed of a biologically inert blend of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate. They are widely utilized across various industries, including microbiological, medical, pharmaceutical, food, and water quality testing, due to their excellent flow rates, high porosity, and cost-efficiency.
Key Features:
- High Protein Binding Capacity: Superior protein binding compared to cellulose acetate membranes, making it suitable for microbiological applications but not ideal for protein extraction.
- Hydrophilic Membrane: Provides efficient filtration of aqueous solutions without additional treatment.
- Precise Pore Structure: Uniform pore sizes ensure consistent filtration performance.
- Pre-Sterilized & Individually Packed: Ensures sample integrity and reliability during filtration processes.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Low resistance, efficient filtration, and affordable price make it a preferred choice for various applications.
Recommended Applications:
- Microbiological Analysis: Ideal for examining water, wastewater, foods, pharmaceuticals, and beverages.
- Air Monitoring & Contamination Analysis: Effective for filtering air particulates and contaminants.
- General Laboratory Filtration: Suitable for filtration of water machine solutions and basic aqueous samples.
- Gas and Alcohol Particulate Filtration: Used for removing particles from gases and alcohol-based solutions.
- Pharmaceutical and Industrial Filtration: Widely applied for sterile filtration, quality control, and sample preparation.
