Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) Membrane Filters

Code: MCE-ADVANTEC
Price: Contact
◆ Name of product: MCE film (Mixed Cellulose Ester)
◆ Specifications: 13mm, 25mm, 47mm, 90mm,
:

• High purity, triton-free MCE or "Nitrocellulose" membranes are composed of a combination of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate
• High porosity for increased flow rates without compromising filter integrity
• Use for many standard laboratory applications, including filter sterilization, contamination analysis
• Available specialty membranes include Opticlear (for hot block acetone vapor test) and Hydrophobic Edge (HE) membranes

Notes: 
1. Bubble Point is the minimum pressure required to force air through a membrane which has been prewet with water (0.1μm membranes prewet with isopropanol). 
2. Flow Rates indicate initial flow rate at 10 psi using a KGS 47 filter holder: 
     Water: using prefiltered (0.1μm) water 
     Air: using prefiltered nitrogen 
3. Porosity refers to the percent open area
Additional Specifications: 
+ Wetting Time: <3 seconds to wet a φ47mm disk with aqueous 1% methylene blue 
+ Max. Operating Temperature: 130°C 
+ Refractive Index: 1.50
