Cellulose Acetate Membrane Filters

	Composed of cellulose di- and triacetate, these filters exhibit low static charge and high strength
	May be sterilized repeatedly without loss of integrity or change in bubble point
	Extremely low aqueous extractables (0.1 wt%)
	Good resistance to heat and low molecular weight alcohols (compared to MCE membranes)
	Use for filtration of enzyme solutions, diagnostic cytology, or receptor binding studies

	Wetting Time: <3 seconds to wet a φ47mm disk with aqueous 1% methylene blue
	Max. Operating Temperature: 180°C
	Thickness: 125-135μm
	Refractive Index: 1.47
	Ash Content: See below.

Notes:
1. Bubble Point is the minimum pressure required to force air through a membrane which has been prewet with water.
2. Flow Rates indicate initial flow rate at 10 psi using a KGS 47 filter holder:
Water: using prefiltered (0.1μm) water
Air: using prefiltered nitrogen
3. Porosity refers to the percent open area.
