Filtration Membrane Discs
Thin, precut membrane rounds for high-throughput, fast filtration of liquid and gas samples. Gridded and non-gridded discs. Various materials including mixed cellulose ester, polycarbonate, PTFE, nylon, and PVDF. For air monitoring/analytical research.
Sizes
Filter membranes are made in a range of diameters, typically designed to fit a specific holder or manifold.
Materials
Filter membrane can be made from cellulose, mixed cellulose esters (MCE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethersulfone (PES), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), nylon, polycarbonate (PC), polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP). Other membrane materials include aluminum oxide, gelatin, porcelain, and glass.
Pore Size
The size of membrane pores determines which particles will be retained by the filter. A pore size of 0.2 µm is small enough to remove microbes from solutions; a 0.45 µm ore size can remove larger particulates.
Color and Grids
White membrane filters may be plain or marked with square grids (outlined in black) that can help with enumerating particles. Gridded or plain black membrane filters may be helpful when filtering light-colored particulates.
Sterility
Filter membranes may be pre-sterilized or may be sterilized using ethylene oxide, gamma irradiation, or autoclaves. The need for sterility is determined by the application, which are many and varied:
- Light microscopy samples
- Cytology sample preparation
- Electron microscopy samples
- Air quality and other environmental monitoring
- Water analysis and water quality testing
- Microbiology colony counting and quality control
- Chemotaxis
- Sterile preparation of buffers, tissue culture media, microbiological media, and other biological fluids

Alkali Scientific CellPro™ MCE (Mixed Cellulose Ester) Membrane Filter, 100/Pk, 13 mm, 0.45 μm
CellPro™ MCE (Mixed Cellulose Ester) Membrane Filters are high performance filtration membranes commonly used in laboratory and industrial applications for microbiological analysis, particle monitoring, and air/water testing. These filters are composed of a blend of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate, combining the strengths of both materials for reliable and consistent performance. Key Features: High Porosity (up to 80–85%): Ensures fast flow rates and high throughput. Uniform Pore Structure: Provides accurate and consistent retention of microorganisms and particles. Hydrophilic Nature: Eliminates the need for pre wetting with surfactants; ideal for aqueous solutions. Low Extractables: Minimizes contamination risks in sensitive analyses. Smooth, White Surface (or Gridded Options): Makes it easy to visually inspect and count colonies during microbiological testing.
