ARC - Flat MCE Membrane
MCE flat membranes are made from a mixture of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate, which can retain microorganisms and particles from fluids. They are widely used in aqueous solution sterile filtration, aqueous solution clarification, particle collection and analysis, microbial detection, air monitoring, mobile phase (aqueous phase) filtration for HPLC, etc.
Features
Good hydrophilicity and easy wetting.
Smooth membrane surface, high porosity, good retention effffect, suitable
for microbial retention and growth.
Uniform membrane pores, high porosity, high flflow rate, and fast fifiltration.
Excellent mechanical strength.
Good thermal stability.
Excellent inter and intra-lot consistency.
Applications
MCE membranes are suitable for high flflow rate, and high volume applications,
mainly for sterilizing-grade fifiltration and microbiology testing of aqueous solutions.
Microbiological Analysis .
HPLC sample preparation.
Particle counting in liquids or aerosols.
Sterilization and particle removal fifiltration in laboratories and small production processes.
Filtration of culture media, culture solutions for sterilization.
Determination of E. coli in water.
Determination of bacteria and particles in pharmaceuticals.
