Sterile Filtration
Don’t take risks with your work. Eliminating contaminants and bacteria from cell growth media is crucial to preserving your cell cultures and ensuring accurate results.
We provide a range of sterile filtration products that have been optimized to meet all your needs. Our membranes include the high performance Millipore Express® PLUS membrane, which provides fast flow with low protein binding. This saves valuable laboratory time while minimizing the loss of expensive growth additives. For the lowest protein binding of any membrane available, choose Durapore®, our ultra-low protein binding membrane.
Our sterile filtration product line also includes the largest selection of pressure and vacuum driven devices for aqueous solutions, as well as venting and gas filtration applications. Whether you are filtering 1 milliliter of antibiotic or 20 liters of serum or protecting your vacuum line from fluids, Millipore has a device with the speed, low binding, and recovery you need.
