Product news

Millipore today announced an enhanced design for its Stericup Filter Cups. The fast flowing, low protein-binding cups sterilize tissue culture media, buffers and other aqueous solutions. The new ergonomic design incorporates recessed finger grips on the receiver flask that make it easier to hold, minimize slippage, and facilitate lab procedures. The performance results and quality specifications of the Stericup Filter Cups remain the same. Volume markings on the side of the cup are accurate and consistent with standard products.

The no-tip Stericup Filter Cups are stable, compact and stackable. The threads of the bottle attachment are slightly recessed for added protection against contamination. The redesigned Stericup Filter Cups are available to process in 150 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1L volumes.

Stericup devices are part of a family of Millipore sterile filtration products. Filter units are available in syringe-, pressure-, vacuum- or pump-driven versions. Millipore also offers a wide range of pore sizes, configurations and volume capacities.

Millipore’s Bioscience division delivers complete solutions and services for pharmaceutical, academic, life science, clinical and government research laboratories. With more than 50 years of experience, Millipore manufactures and markets several thousands of products that accelerate drug screening and improve sample preparation.

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.
