General description

Stericup Quick Release-GP sterile vacuum filtration system combines a 500 mL Steritop bottle top filter unit, which uses a 0.22 µm pore size fast flow PES Express PLUS membrane, with a 500 mL receiver flask for sterilizing tissue culture media, protein & DNA.

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

Features and Benefits

  • The Quick Release filter funnel disconnects from the receiver bottle with just a quarter turn—reducing the likelihood of spillage and making it easier to manipulate on the bench or under the hood.
  • Bold product identification on the Steritop® filter funnel plainly displays membrane characteristics, including composition and pore size, for rapid, application-appropriate product selection.
  • Click seal cap is flanged and modified to enable a firm grip in wet or dry conditions—and a tactile stop confirms secure closure. Worry less about the possibility of spilling or contamination of sterilized contents.
  • Frosted, ample writing surface on the receiver bottle and lighter cap color facilitate clear labelling to improve legibility and reduce unreadable smears.
  • Click seal cap rests on the side to avoid risk of contamination.
  • Receiver bottles are stackable to save storage space.

  3. What tubing can be used with Stericup® and Steritop® vacuum filters?

    What tubing can be used with Stericup® and Steritop® vacuum filters?

    1 answer

    1. Stericup® and Steritop® filters are fitted with a 1/4” tube adapter. We recommend 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) ID silicone tubing to fit this tube adapter: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/product/mm/xx7100004

  4. What is the maximum processing volume for Stericup® and Steritop® filters? Can I add more volume after initial filtration?

    1 answer

    1. 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.

  5. What leachables are detected during filtration processes using Stericup® filters?

    1 answer

    1. We have not performed extractables/leachables studies for our Stericup® filters.

  6. Can Stericup® and Steritop® filters be used to prepare solutions that will be administered to patients?

    1 answer

    1. No, all Stericup® and Steritop® devices are Research Use Only.
