Product Description
FilterMAX™ MCE Gridded Membrane Filter, White, 47mm, 0.45um, STERILE, INDIV. WRAPPED, case of 1000 (10 packs of 100)
Sterile Gridded MCE Membrane Filters That Are Actually Easy on Your Eyes
Counting particles on a plain white membrane strains your eyes and slows you down. FilterMAX MCE Gridded Membrane Filters give you a smoother, more uniform surface than pure nitrocellulose, with a printed grid that makes particle detection faster and easier on the eyes. They come sterile and individually wrapped, so they're ready to go straight into microbiological work without an extra prep step.
No hidden fees, ever: free ground shipping, no hazmat surcharges, no handling fees. Just the product and a clean invoice.

We checked this against MilliporeSigma's MF-Millipore 47mm gridded MCE membrane (HAWG04700). The pore size and diameter line up, but the published thickness (150µm on the Millipore sheet vs. 80µm on ours) and water flow rate don't match closely enough for us to call this a cross-reference. We're not going to guess: if you need a documented equivalent to a specific branded membrane, contact us with the part number and we'll check it against the manufacturer spec sheet before you order.
FAQ
- What holder does this fit?
- Any standard 47mm filter holder or filtration funnel designed for 47mm discs.
- Is this membrane sterile?
- Yes, sterile and individually wrapped, ready to use straight out of the pack.
- Can I autoclave this membrane?
- Yes, it's autoclavable if you need extra sterilization flexibility beyond the pre-sterilized state.
- What's the difference between this and the non-sterile version?
- Same membrane material, diameter, and pore size. This version is sterile and individually wrapped; the non-sterile version is bulk packed and priced lower for non-regulated work.
- How is it packed?
- 10 packs of 100, 1,000 discs total per case.
