Whatman WME cellulose mixed ester membranes are a combination of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate membranes. They are characterized by a smoother and more uniform surface than filters made of pure cellulose nitrate.
The gridded surface (3.1 mm spacing) makes the filters ideal for counting colonies after incubation
The color contrast of the filter also enables the detection of particles and minimizes eye fatigue
A special, non-toxic ink is used that is completely free of bacterial growth inhibitors
-Manufactured under strictly controlled clean room conditions
