General description
Compatible with 50 mL centrifuge tubes, Steriflip® filters eliminate the liquid transfer step by integrating directly into the sample tube. To filter, attach the unit to the 50 mL centrifuge tube containing your sample, flip, and apply vacuum. The filtrate collects directly into the attached 50 mL tube.
This Steriflip® 0.22 μm pore size polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane filter unit combines a 50 mL centrifuge tube with a cap for processing and storage.
Application
For Research Use Only
Steriflip® filters are designed to be used for sterile vacuum filtration of aqueous solutions such as tissue culture media and biological fluids.
Tissue culture media +/- additives
Buffers
Biological solutions
Steriflip® filters have been used:
in the preparation of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)[1]
to sterilize bovine serum albumin (BSA), papain, dispase, and DNase mix and glucose solution for tissue culture[2]
to filter clarified supernatant in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) fusion assay[3]
Features and Benefits
Eliminates messy sample transfer via a simple vacuum-assisted, closed system
Can isolate cells from cellular debris using any of the various pore-sized nylon net filters
Ideal for sterilizing small batches of culture media
Attaches to any standard 50 mL centrifuge tube, eliminating unnecessary materials, time and risk of spillage
