Vacuum filtration for sterile media and buffer preparation
In laboratory settings, preparation of sterile media and buffers is crucial to ensure accurate experimental results, particularly in cell culture and microbiology research. Traditional filtration methods can lead to contamination, inefficiency, and excessive waste.
Enhance sterile filtration with ergonomic design
The Stericup® Quick Release is a vacuum filtration unit from Merck designed for sterile filtration of laboratory media and buffers. It features an ergonomic design that enhances usability by disconnecting the filter funnel from the receiving flask with just a quarter-turn. This reduces spill risks and simplifies handling in laboratory environments. The system uses Millipore® membranes, known for their high performance, to provide reliable sterile filtration. Available with various membrane compositions such as PES and PVDF, it caters to diverse applications, including tissue culture media and biological fluids. The Stericup® E and Steritop® E models also emphasize sustainability by reducing plastic waste up to 48% and utilizing less packaging, supporting laboratories’ environmental goals. These units can process volumes from 150 ml to 1 liter and feature user-friendly components like stackable receiving bottles and click-seal lids to minimize contamination risks.
