Membrane Filter is composed of mixed cellulose ester (MCE) and cellulose nitrate/acetate. Known for its natural hydrophilic properties, it is widely used in analytical and research applications. Its gridded design ensures reliable and accurate colony counting, sterility testing, and microbiological analysis, making it a preferred choice for laboratories worldwide.

🔬 How It Works?

The AELAB MCE Membrane Filter operates as a microbiological barrier, retaining bacteria, yeast, molds, and particulates while allowing sterilized fluids to pass through. Its hydrophilic surface ensures smooth flow rates, while the gridded design aids in colony counting, sterility testing, and microbial analysis. Available in contrasting white and black membranes, it improves visibility for accurate microbial growth assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Why choose AELAB MCE membrane filters over other materials?

They combine hydrophilic design, sterile gamma treatment, and gridded surfaces, making them ideal for colony counting and sterility testing.

2When should I use black vs. white membrane filters?

White membranes: Best for general microbiological use and colorless colonies Black membranes: Enhance visibility of light-colored colonies (e.g., yeast, mold)

3Are these filters compatible with Millipore systems?

Yes. They are designed for universal compatibility with Millipore dispensers and standard lab filter holders.

4What pore size is recommended for sterility testing?

0.22 μm pore size is the industry standard for microbial sterility testing in pharmaceutical and biotech labs.
