MCE Filter, ME Range (ME 24), Plain, 0.2um Pore Size, 25mm Circle 100Pk SKU: 10401706

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters - 10401706

The Whatman 10401706 combines a controlled pore size distribution with low extractable levels, ensuring the data accuracy that sensitive analytical methods require. Optimized for laboratory use, precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.2 pore structure delivers consistent retention across the full operating range. In combination, each membrane disc reflects a manufacturing standard where retention characteristics, physical integrity, and dimensional accuracy are verified before release.

Material Specifications

Hydrophilic by nature, the MCE membrane structure supports high non-specific adsorption for effective organism capture.
Mixed Cellulose Ester membranes combine cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate polymers to deliver a smoother, more flexible membrane surface than pure cellulose nitrate.
Packaged without sterilization for applications where downstream sterility is achieved by other means or is not a process requirement.
Low tare weight and complete solubility in organic solvents make MCE the standard membrane for gravimetric particulate analysis where method specifications demand minimal blank correction.
The biologically inert blend of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate provides a membrane surface optimized for organism capture and colony enumeration in microbiological assays.

Transitioning from qualitative screening to quantitative gravimetric analysis requires a membrane with documented tare weight consistency, and the manufacturing tolerances above ensure that your blank values remain within acceptable limits. In this context, MCE's naturally hydrophilic surface allows immediate wetting upon contact with aqueous samples, eliminating the pre-conditioning step and letting you begin filtration as soon as the membrane is seated in your holder. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
