GVS Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) Filtration Membrane is an unsupported, hydrophilic membrane. Its rapid flow rate and high throughput make it ideal for use in bioburden and sterility testing.
Consistent Uniformity Improves Control and Performance
GVS MCE Filtration Membranes are composed of a mixture of inert cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate polymers. The uniform microporous structure of these filters provides the fastest flow rates and highest throughputs available in a membrane filter. They are hydrophilic with a noncytotoxic wetting agent and yield extractable levels of less than 4% of their weight. These membranes are autoclavable at 121°C (250°F) for 20 minutes. Sterilized product lifetime is 24 months from sterilization date.
Characteristics
