Stericup® and Steritop® Filter

Sterilize cell culture media with vacuum-driven Stericup^® and Steritop^® filters.

Sterile-filter and store 150 mL up to 1000 mL of cell culture media using trusted Stericup^® filter units, which include a bottle-top filter and a receiving flask, and Steritop^® bottle-top filters.    

Reasons to choose Stericup^® vacuum filters:

• Faster flow rate and less clogging than many other bottle-top filters
• Low protein binding
• Stable design to minimize risk of tipping over
• Easy to grip flask
• Compact and stackable, even in tight cell culture hoods
• Wide range of membranes and volume capacity

Our most popular sterile filtration membrane, Millipore Express^® PLUS polyethersulfone (PES), now delivers even faster filtration rates while reducing overall protein and reagent loss.

Fastest media throughput for less clogging:

Comparison of media flow rate between multiple vacuum-driven filters. 500 mL of DMEM with 10% FBS was filtered through various vacuum-driven cup devices and timed.

Lowest protein binding for less protein loss:

Comparison of protein binding between multiple vacuum-driven filters. Discs cut from various filters were offered a 1 mg/mL solution of ¹²⁵I labeled lgG. The chart shows protein binding after incubation (normalized to membrane surface area).
