Cellulose Nitrate & Acetate, without grid, sterile


Ultramicro balances Cubis®
 
 

 

Sterile, individually packaged filters have long become standard for routine microbiological quality control because of the user benefits they offer. They are pre-sterilized and ready-to-use and save preparatory time. As they are individually packaged, they avoid the possibility of contamination of remaining filters in opened packs and conform with GLP, having filter identification and lot number printed on each individual envelope. Each membrane is checked to ensure it is not damaged in any way, is positioned correctly with no slippage under the edge seal, has perfect grid printing and is free of particles. Each envelope is checked for readable lettering.The membranes are made of even cellulose nitrate (cellulose ester), a material which assures effective retention with high flow rates and optimum colony growth or cellulose acetate, a material which combines high flow rates and thermal stability with very low adsorption characteristics.11301, a white CN membrane filter with a pore size of 8 µm is used as a prefilter in a special prefilter attachment (16807) for bacteriological analyses. It retains the coarse suspended particles, whereas it allows microorganisms to pass through. These microbes are trapped on the surface of the underlying bacteria-retentive membrane filter (e. g. 0.45 µm). 11107, a white CA membrane filter with a pore size of 0.2 µm is the filter of choice for sterile filtration, such as nutrient media, buffer and sera. This membrane is validated by the Bacteria Challenge Test.
