Overview

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.
