Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE)
- Composition: Mixed Cellulose esters including cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate, also known as nitrocellulose
- High porosity provides superior flow rates
- High protein binding can be blocked by pretreatment or utilized in applications
- High purity: Triton-free
- Autoclavable: Withstands autoclaving temperatures up to 130'c without adversely affecting bubble point, flow rate, or microbiological recovery
- Rapid wetting time: <3 seconds to wet a 47mm diameter disc with aqueous 1% methylene blue
