Advantec A045A047A Membrane Filters White Plain MCE 0.45 WP 47MM 100/PK

Advantec mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane filters with a 0.45 µm pore size are widely used for microbiological analysis, including testing water, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, food products, and beverages. They are also commonly used in environmental monitoring and laboratory filtration procedures where capturing bacteria or fine particles is required.

A 0.45 µm pore size is considered a standard for microbiological filtration because it effectively retains most bacteria and suspended particles while allowing liquids to pass through efficiently. This balance of retention and flow rate makes it ideal for microbial enumeration, sterility testing, and sample preparation in laboratories.

These filters are manufactured from mixed cellulose esters (MCE), typically a blend of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate. This material provides strong particle retention, high protein binding capacity, and consistent flow rates, making it suitable for microbiological and analytical laboratory work.

Yes. 47 mm diameter membrane filters are one of the most common laboratory sizes and are compatible with many filtration devices, including vacuum filter holders, manifold filtration systems, and microbiological testing units designed for 47 mm membranes.

To maintain performance, membrane filters should be stored in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and chemical vapors. Keeping them in their original packaging until use helps prevent contamination and ensures accurate filtration results.
