IntroductionReinforced MCE flat membranes consist of a cellulose nitrate/cellulose acetate membrane laminated onto a PET support. They provide reliable particulate and microbial retention from aqueous fluids and are suited to sterile filtration, clarification, particle collection and microbial testing in laboratory and small-scale production environments.
Features- Hydrophilic surface for rapid wetting.
- Suitable for microbial retention and culture growth on membrane.
- High flow rates enabling fast filtration throughput.
- Enhanced mechanical strength due to PET support.
- Stable under typical laboratory thermal conditions.
- Consistent performance between and within lots.
- Uniform pore distribution and high porosity.
- Smooth surface for effective retention and easy handling.
- Compatible with autoclave, ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation sterilization (sterilization parameters depend on processing and require validation).
