VacufilTM disposable Vacuum Filtration units are very useful in large volume samples separation and purification for tissue culture media, biological fluids and fixation buffers.
The unit includes membrane filter, graduated funnel of clear polystyrene with polyethylene neck adapter and polystyrene reservoir bottle with a separate sterile polyethylene cap. Glass fiber pre-filter is available.
Five membranes are available to meet all of your filtration needs: PES, MCE, CA, Nylon and hydrophilic PVDF.
Available in three styles: vacuum filtration system, filter funnel and the receiver bottle.
Application
Ideal for filtration of tissue culture media, biological fluids, fixation buffers etc
