VacuCap® Vacuum Filtration Devices
VacuCap® Vacuum Filtration Devices Innovative bottle-top filters can fill multiple bottles with one device
- Ability to process 100 mL to 5L volumes into multiple aliquots
- Reduces storage space and waste
- Environmentally-friendly with minimal plastic waste
- Draws directly from the mixing reservoir
- Eliminates possibility of contamination from transfer steps by filtering directly into sterile container
- Low extractables/surfactant-free Supor membrane provides high flow rates
- Available with built-in prefilter to prevent clogging and to increase throughput of high-particulate solutions
Applications
- Vacuum-driven filtration of cell and tissue culture media, microbiological media, aqueous solutions, protein solutions, and buffers
- Prefiltration or clarification of aqueous solutions
- PF version useful for filtration of hard-to-filter solutions.
INSTRUCTIONS
 |
1.Connect the feed tubing to the port marked “INLET” on the VacuCap device. Place the opposite end of the tubing in the unfiltered fluid to be drawn. |
 |
2. Connect the vacuum tubing to the port marked “VACUUM” on the VacuCap device. Refer to product insert for safety precautions. |
 |
3. While holding the VacuCap device securely on the filtrate container, start the vacuum. The VacuCap device will seal securely to the container top and fluid will be drawn. |
 |
4. When filtration is complete, switch off the vacuum pump allowing the vacuum inside the receiving container to dissipate. Refer to the product insert for complete instructions. |
