Nitrocellulose Membrane MCE, 0.45µm

The Nitrocellulose Membrane MCE, 0.45µm is a premium, unsupported, hydrophilic filtration membrane ideal for a variety of diagnostic kit manufacturing applications. Engineered for rapid flow rates and high throughput, this membrane optimizes efficiency in numerous laboratory processes.

Constructed from a sophisticated blend of inert cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate polymers, the Nitrocellulose Membrane boasts a uniform microporous structure, ensuring the fastest flow rates and highest levels of throughput attainable in membrane filtering technology. Its biologically inert composition makes it perfect for applications that require reliable sterilization, clarification, and analytical analysis, such as:

• Microbiological analysis
• Silt density index determination
• Particulate-matter analysis
• Industrial hygiene applications
• Sterilization of aqueous solutions

For gravimetric analysis utilizing ashing techniques, the membrane shows exceptional performance, yielding a residue of less than 0.045% of its initial weight. Additionally, its hydrophilic nature, combined with a non-cytotoxic wetting agent, results in a low extractable level of less than 4% of its weight, guaranteeing reliability and safety in laboratory environments.

This membrane is autoclavable at 121°C for 20 minutes, providing exceptional versatility for sterile applications with a sterilized product lifetime of 24 months from the sterilization date.

Key Features:

• High Flow Rate: Designed for rapid filtration rates to minimize processing time.
• Uniform Pore Structure: Ensures consistent flow and diffusion rates across the membrane.
• Consistency: Lot-to-lot consistency is maintained for reliable performance.
• Thickness: Ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.19 mm, suitable for diverse filtration needs.
