Vacuum filter cups are commonly used in the industry to degas solutions. For some liquid chromatography systems, applying a vacuum while filtering the mobile phase may remove enough gas to prevent issues.

General description
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® 250 mL bottle-top with 0.22 μm pore size polyethersulfone (PES) membrane filter unit can be used on bottles with 45 mm openings, designed for vacuum applications.
Application
- Tissue culture media +/- additives
- Buffers
- Biological solutions

Can Stericup® bottles be placed inside freezers for long-term storage of media?
1 answer-
You can successfully freeze and store many aqueous solutions (such as culture media) in Stericup® bottles at temperatures up to -20 °C (-4 °F). It is strongly recommended that you run a sample stability trial under your actual storage conditions prior to using Stericup® bottles for frozen storage.

What is the maximum processing volume for Stericup® and Steritop® filters? Can I add more volume after initial filtration?
1 answer-
All Stericup® and Steritop® filters were developed for single-use application. The maximum volume is dependent on the receiver bottle capacity. Stericup® filters come with a receiver bottle with a specified maximum volume. For Steritop® filters, the maximum recommended volume is 2 L with an appropriate-sized receiver bottle. Larger processing volumes can result in membrane fouling, increase chance of spillage and contamination, and lead to possible airlock*.
*Note that devices with PES membranes can airlock if filtered to dryness. Some liquid must be left on top of the filter, then the system stopped, receiver changed or emptied, and more sample volume added before restart. This increases the chance of spillage.Helpful?
