Nitrocellulose Mixed Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters, Advantec, Sterile Individual Pack (with pad), gridded, 0.45 Micron, 47mm, 1000/Pk

Our sterile, white, gridded, padded Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) membranes--a versatile mixture of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate fibers--are general purpose filters with high recovery rates, high porosity, and superior flow rates. These pre-sterilized filters are suited for single use in many microbiological applications, including the examination of water, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages. The grid-lines on the membrane's surface eliminate eye-fatigue during colony-counting and the white surface allows color reactions to be easily observed.
