Print Page- Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) membranes
- hydrophilic
- 47mm diameter
- 8.0µm pore size
The Camlab range of mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane filters are manufactured from cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate fibres.
Available with pore sizes between 0.22µm - 8.0µm.
MCE membranes are characterized by a smoother and more uniform surface than pure nitrocellulose membrane filters. This facilitates particle detection, and also a high retention level.
Camlab mixed cellulose ester membranes are hydrophilic, mechanically stable and have a high loading capacity. Plain membranes are ideal for pre-filtration and the clarification of samples, and gridded MCE membranes can be used for microbiological analysis and for colony counting.

Guide to…Membrane Filter Properties
Identifying the filter material most suitable for your application based upon the nature of the liquid or gas you are filtering will ensure the best performance of your filter. Each membrane filter material has differing chemical and physical properties such as hydrophobicity, flow rate, extractables and protein retention making them suited to differing applications. Once you have selected the most compatible filter material, you will need to consider what pore size is most appropriate.
| Membrane Material | Protein binding | Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic | Chemical resistance | Applications |
| Hydrophilic PTFE | Low | Hydrophilic | High | Purification of HPLC organic and solvent/aqueous solutions |
| Hydrophobic PTFE | Low | Hydrophobic | High | Filtration of solvents |
| PES | Low | Hydrophilic | Low/Medium | Purification of tissue culture solutions, buffers |
| PVDF | Low | Hydrophilic | Medium | Filtration of protein solutions |
| NYL | Medium | Hydrophilic | Medium | Filtration of aqueous and solvent/aqueous mixtures |
| CA | Low | Hydrophilic | Low | Filtration of protein solutions |
| CN | High | Hydrophilic | Low | Filtration of aqueous solutions where protein binding is not a concern and microbioloigical applications. |
| RC | Low | Hydrophilic | Medium | Filtration of aqueous and organic solvents and protein recovery applications. |
