General description

Work with ease and filter with confidence with Stericup® and Steritop® Filtration Systems.

Stericup ® and Steritop ® sterile filtration devices use reliable, high-performance membranes for optimum sterile filtration of laboratory reagents, buffers, and media. These devices combine superior flow rates and throughput with low non-specific binding and a stable, no-tip design.

This Steritop ® 500 mL bottle top 0.22 μm pore size polyethersulfone (PES) membrane filter unit can be used on bottles with 33 mm openings, , designed for vacuum applications.

Application

For Research Use Only
Stericup® and Steritop® systems are designed to reduce foaming and protein denaturation while maximizing flow and can be used for sterile vacuum filtration of aqueous solutions such as tissue culture media and biological fluids.

  • Tissue culture media +/- additives
  • Buffers
  • Biological solutions

Questions

1–10 of 16 Questions  
  1. What is the bottle part number for SCGPS05RE?

    1 answer
    1. WHEATON® LAB 45™ Reagent Bottle, Clear Borosilicate Glass With Connection Neck (Catalog Number: 844026) is compatible for use with SCGPS05RE, the Millipore Steritop Threaded Bottle Top Filter.

      Helpful?

  2. What is the difference between classic Stericup® filters and Stericup® “Quick Release” filters?

    1 answer
    1. Stericup® Quick Release, or “QR”, filters feature a connection between funnel filter and receiver bottle that requires only a quarter-turn release to facilitate funnel removal. These filters come fully engaged – there is no need to tighten before use. The receiver bottle cap has flanges on the top surface to improve grip, as well as a positive lock stop to ensure a leak-proof seal with the receiver bottle. Other improvements include a large, frosted writing surface on the receiver bottle and a lighter cap color to facilitate labelling, more prominent volume markings on the filtration funnel and receiver bottle, and a product label with a peel-off lot record strip on the bag for easy viewing in storage.
