Nitrocellulose Mixed Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters, 0.45 Micron, 13mm - 293mm

Advantec MCE, a mixture of nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate, meets rigorous quality standards throughout every step of production. This process ensures the membrane has a uniform pore structure and consistent thickness and cosmetic characteristics.

Hydrophilic MCE membranes utilize a mixture of cellulose nitrate/acetate fibers to deliver superior flow rates, precise pores, and high protein binding capacity; ideal for particle monitoring, diagnostic kit manufacturing, and microbiology applications.

Key Features

Hydrophilic membrane with high protein binding
Uniform pore structure and consistent thickness
Superior flow rates and precise pore size

MCE Filters in Microbiological Applications

Many microbiological techniques include colony counting after incubation as the standard method of quantification. Gridded filters have clearly defined grid lines spaced at 3.1 mm intervals. The special ink used is nontoxic and completely free from bacterial growth inhibitors. White gridded disks are designed for the recovery and retention of E. Coli bacteria in water/waste-water analysis as well as other microbiological tests. Black mixed cellulose esters(MCE) are available plain for automatic colony counting applications, as well as gridded to assist in manual counting procedures. Black MCE membranes provide contrast between residue or cell colors and the filter without having to counter-stain the membrane.
