Stericup® Quick Release Filtration Systems

The Stericup^® Quick Release 500 ml vacuum filter is a filter bottle system ideally suited for sterile filtration of cell culture media, buffers and reagents, that includes a Steritop^® fiter unit with a re-designed Stericup^® Quck Release receiver bottle. It is the next generation of the original Stericup® Sterile Vacuum Filtration System- a staple in labs around the world for decades. The Quick Release offers ergonomic design updates that optimize user control and streamline the filtration process, while safeguarding results with the proven performance of Millipore® membranes. It will be offered in sizes in the 150 to 1,000 mL volume range with multiple membrane materials and pore sizes.

Refinements to the new Stericup^® Quick Release improve the user experience, and include:

• a “Quick Release” filter funnel that disconnects from the receiver bottle with just a quarter turn, reducing the likelihood of spillage and making it easier to manipulate on the bench or under the hood
• a click seal confidence cap that is flanged and modified to enable a firm grip in wet or dry conditions
• a tactile stop to confirm secure closure on sterilized contents, eliminating concerns of contamination or spillage and and much more

While changes to the Stericup^® filter provide an enhanced user experience, the membranes inside the filter remain the same, ensuring reliable filtration and confidence in downstream analysis, assay development and scientific reproducibility. Millipore^® membranes are quality-tested and validated for performance, and provide reliable filtration with high flow rates, low protein binding and low fluid retention, minimal fouling and assurance of sterility.
