Cytiva Whatman 7188-003 WCN 0.8um pore size 37mm diameter cellulose nitrate CN hydrophilic membrane filter circle disc

Filter, membrane, disc/circle, cellulose nitrate (CN), hydrophilic, standard, plain, non-sterile, 0.8μm pore size, 37mm (3.7cm) diameter, low levels of extractables, increase temperature stability, fully autoclavable (30 minutes at 121°C), maximum operating temperature 80°C, reduced shrinkage, higher strength and flexibility, white, translucent, pack of 100, Cytiva, Whatman, WCN Cellulose Nitrate, 7188-003.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate (CN) membrane filter plain circles:

Narrow pore size distribution for improved surface capture and analysis.

Low levels of extractables to ensure sample integrity.

Recommended for the majority of routine applications, this membrane is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions.

Commonly used in sample preparation in microbiological studies, for the filtration of aqueous solutions, asbestos monitoring (NIOSH) and air pollution monitoring applications.

The user will benefit from the performance improvements that are now available in Whatman membrane filters, including very narrow pore size distribution and low levels of extractables.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have higher strength and flexibility...  Most membranes are inherently brittle and difficult to handle; it is not uncommon for filters to be damaged during loading into holders or while in use.  Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have a noticeably improved flexibility and are made to tolerate abuse during handling, loading, and autoclaving without sacrificing integrity.  These membranes are among the strongest of their type available, as measured and compared by burst pressure tests.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have low extractable levels...  The level of extractables in membrane filters has become more important with advances in filtration or adsorption techniques.  In particular, pharmaceutical, immunological, and biomedical tissue culture and trace analysis applications can be adversely affected by high extractable levels.  Cytiva Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have a low level of extractables, generally below that of other membranes of a similar type.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have a narrow pore size distribution...  One of the major features of Whatman membrane filters is the narrow distribution of pore sizes.  The rated pore size of these membranes is closely controlled due to the advanced manufacturing and control system.  Additionally, the batch-to-batch variation is minimized providing more consistent laboratory results.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have increased temperature stability...  Membrane filters are normally autoclaved at 121°C without loss of integrity.  Cellulose nitrate membranes are supplied as circles, sheets, or reels.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate membrane filters have reduced shrinkage...  Excessive shrinkage can cause problems during autoclaving and is often the cause of membranes tearing in their holders after autoclaving.  It may also cause a reduction in flow rate and total throughput.  Whatman membranes exhibit a low shrinkage during autoclaving.

Cytiva's Whatman cellulose nitrate membranes are white plain filters - this is the standard membrane filter for the majority of laboratory applications involving particles and cells in the range of 0.1µm to 12.0µm.  The residue after filtration is found to be almost completely on the surface of the membrane and allows physical recovery of deposits and microscopic examination.
