Product news

Millipore Corporation, a Life Science leader providing technologies, tools and services for bioscience research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, today announced the availability of the Nylon Net Steriflip filter unit, a unique addition to the Steriflip product line. The Steriflip filter unit is a disposable, sterile filtration system used in the preparation of tissue culture media, buffers, microbiological media and other aqueous solutions.

The Nylon Net Steriflip device features a new, streamlined design that provides easier cell manipulation and optimal performance in a variety of applications. This new nylon mesh version enables faster separation of large volumes of cellular material to improve recovery and lessen time to collect isolated cells. Four mesh sizes allow for optimal performance in stem cell, cardiomyocyte, neurological and skeletal tissue applications. The new Nylon Net Steriflip device is available in 20 μm, 40 μm, 60 μm, and 100 μm sizes. Steriflip devices are vacuum assisted, closed systems that ensure sample sterility.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
