MCE Membrane Filters

Atom Scientific offer a selection of hydrophilic MCE (Mixed Cellulose Ester) Membrane Filters made from a blend of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate. These membranes provide excellent flow rates, uniform pore structures, and high protein binding capacity ideal for microbiological analysis, diagnostic kit production, and particle monitoring.

Our Range Includes...

High Flow and Precise Pore Structure – Ensures efficient sample filtration with reliable retention performance.

High Protein Binding Capacity – Suitable for applications requiring strong adsorption, including diagnostic kit manufacturing.

Gridded Formats for Colony Counting – Filters feature 3.1 mm spaced grid lines using nontoxic ink, aiding accurate manual counting without inhibiting bacterial growth.

Black or White Membranes – White membranes support E. coli and microbial recovery in water testing; black membranes enhance visibility for automatic or manual colony counting.

Contrast Without Counter-Staining – Black MCE membranes provide sharp contrast with colonies or particulates, removing the need for additional staining.
