Due to their
unique performance characteristics nitrocellulose filters are the most
frequently used filters in analytical, research and microbiology labs. Their
highly porous structure accounts for excellent flow rates. They can withstand
autoclaving temperatures up to 130°C without adversely affecting bubble point,
flow rate or microbiological recovery. They exhibit minimal shrinkage at
elevated temperatures. They contain an aqueous organic extractable up to 3%
(wt) composed primarily of glycerin, which maintains a pore structure during
storage and a small amount of non-cytotoxic wetting agent which accelerates
wetting out the filter.
