Description
Syringe Filter MCE 25mm-0.45UM (JOHNSON)
The Syringe Filter MCE 25mm-0.45UM (JOHNSON) is a disposable device used in laboratories and scientific settings for sterilizing and clarifying liquids. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Function:
Similar to its 0.20 μm counterpart, this syringe filter removes particles larger than 0.45 micrometers (μm) in diameter from liquids. It achieves this by utilizing a disc-shaped membrane made of mixed cellulose ester (MCE) housed within a plastic cylindrical casing. Liquids are forced through the MCE membrane using a syringe, leaving behind particles larger than the pore size.
Features:
- Sterile: Pre-sterilized using methods like gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) to ensure they don’t contaminate filtered liquids.
- MCE Membrane: Offers high flow rates, low protein binding, and broad chemical compatibility for filtering various aqueous solutions.
- 0.45 μm pore size: This pore size allows passage of liquids and some larger molecules while effectively filtering out bacteria and most larger particles. This is a commonly used pore size for general purpose clarification and sterilization applications in laboratories.
- 25mm diameter: Standard diameter for syringe filters, compatible with most syringes.
- Luer Lock or Slip Connections: For secure attachment to syringes and other luer-compatible devices on both inlet and outlet sides.
Benefits:
- Sterilization: Removes bacteria and other contaminants exceeding 0.45 μm, making it suitable for many sterilization applications.
- Clarification: Removes particles that could interfere with downstream processes like microscopy or chromatography.
- Protects instruments: By filtering out particles, it safeguards sensitive laboratory equipment from clogs.
- Fast and convenient: Syringe filtration is a quick and easy way to prepare small volumes of liquids.
- Portable: Small and lightweight for use in any laboratory setting.
Applications:
- Sample preparation: Preparing biological samples (like cell cultures or tissue homogenates) for analysis by techniques like HPLC, ICP-MS, or spectroscopy.
- Sterilization of solutions: In some cases, suitable for sterilizing small volumes of liquids intended for injection (depending on specific requirements).
- Clarification of solutions: Removing precipitates or unwanted particles from solutions.
- Protecting equipment: Preventing clogs in tubing and other laboratory equipment.
Choosing the Right Syringe Filter:
The choice between a 0.20 μm and 0.45 μm filter depends on your specific needs:
- 0.20 μm: Offers a higher level of sterilization by removing even smaller particles. Consider this for critical applications requiring maximum sterility.
- 0.45 μm: A good balance between particle removal and flow rate. Suitable for general purpose sterilization and clarification applications in laboratories.
