Nitrocellulose Mixed Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters, 0.8 Micron, Black, Sterile, Gridded, 47mm

Advantec sterile, black, gridded, Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) membranes are general purpose filters with high recovery rates, porosity, and superior flow rates. These pre-sterilised filters are suited for single use in many microbiological applications, including the examination of water, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages. The colouring and grid-lines on the membrane's surface eliminate eye-fatigue and the need for a counter-stain to assist with the counting of retained colonies. Yeast, mold, and microorganisms are visible and easy to quantify due to the colour contrast inherently provided by the filter. The MCE black, gridded, sterile membrane filter is an ideal choice for the examination of bottled water, carbonated beverages, beer, and wine.

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.

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.
