General description

The Stericap PLUS Universal Bottle-Top Filter Device with Millipore Express PLUS membrane provides fast vacuum filtration and low protein binding without the need for a prefilter in most cases. It filters quickly, without clogging, even viscous solutions typical of serum-containing media. This non-cytotoxic, non-pyrogenic device can be used to fill any vacuum-rated bottle or other container with an inner neck diameter of 20 to 67 mm. This allows maximum versatility, capacity, speed, and flowthrough efficiency when you need to filter larger volumes into containers with openings of various sizes.

Features & Benefits:
- Millipore Express PLUS membrane for fastest flow rates and low protein binding

- Fits any vacuum-rated bottle from 20 to 67 mm in diameter for maximum flexibility

- High volume capacity for larger and less frequent preparation steps

- Easy flow control button so the filter can be easily transferred from bottle to bottle without turning off the vacuum each time

- Free of cytotoxic and pyrogenic contaminants for robust cell culture and sensitive downstream applications

Applications:
Sterilization of Aqueous Solutions, Media Preparation, Buffer Preparation

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. Are all GL45 bottles compatible, is there a max liter amount? Are they compatible with the 10LT GL45 bottles as well?

    1 answer

    1. This product is a universal bottle top filter suitable for containers with a neck ID of 20 - 67 mm. There is no threading, the cap is held in place by the vacuum pressure. The volume is dependent upon the type of solution being filtered. A maximum volume has not been determined, but should the membrane become physically fouled, it is no longer usable and must be replaced. A typical volume range of 5 - 10L may be expected when filtering the prepared tissue culture medium.
