Versatile membrane made of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate mixed ester. Gridded membranes (line spacing 3.1 mm) make it easier to count particles and micro-organisms; the dyes used are non-toxic and free of antibacterial substances.High dirt absorbing capacity prevents rapid clogging of the membrane. Uniform membrane structure ensures high flow rates. Very smooth and even surface aids microscopic evaluation. Biologically inert and free of surfactants.
