Millipore's Stericup with Express Plus membrane is the first available under this initiative.
Stericup filter cups combine a filter unit with a receiver flask and cap for processing and storage.
Supplied sterile and ready-to-use, the Stericup offers fast flow with high throughput and low protein binding ensures key growth factors and proteins are not absorbed.
When used in conjunction with ExpressPlus membranes and media, Stericup offers an optimised and cost effective solution for stem cell culture that eliminates the concern over whether filtering complete media will remove valuable factors or add deleterious components to the growth media.
An asymmetric pore structure in the Express Plus membrane gives greater throughput than other membranes and it is the 0.22um pore size that is now stem cell tested. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
