Disposable Vacuum Filtration Units

MS® Vacufil™ disposable vacuum filtration units are ideal for the separation and purification of large sample volumes of tissue culture media, biological fluids and fixation buffers.

• Available in 0.22um and 0.45um pores sizes
• Filter diameter - 50 mm membrane diameter for 250 ml units and 90 mm for 500 ml units
• Volume sizes: 250, 500 and 1000 ml
• Light weight and heavy wall construction
• Large knurls on the reservoir bottle cap for easy assembly
• Reservoir bottles feature easy grip for improved handling with simple tightening and loosening adjustments
• Designed with a wide mouth for easy access for efficient and smooth pouring
• Engraved graduation ensures durability
• Hose connector can fit multiple hose diameters
• Detergent free, tissue culture compatible and heat sealed to the support grid to maximise flow rate, reduce foaming and protein denaturation
• Certified non-pyrogenic

• Used for the filtration of tissue culture media, biological fluids, fixation buffers etc
• Cell culture media and other aqueous solutions
• Sterile filtration of solutions which can’t be auto-claved
• Sterile filtration and clarification of difficult-to-filter aqueous solutions

1. Select the membrane

   Color of collar	Membrane Material	Description
   Green	PES	The fastest flow rate, the lowest protein binding and low extractables and are best for filtering cell culture media.
   Dark blue	MCE	Filtration of aqueous solutions, effectively binds trace proteins.
   Blue	CA	Fast flow rates and low protein binding and are good for filtering cell culture media.
   Purple	Nylon	Naturally hydrophilic, surfactant-free and offer the lowest extractables.
   Yellow	Hydrophilic PVDF	Suitable for aqueous solutions and organic solvent filtration.

2. Select the pore size

   Pore Size (μm)	Application
   0.22	Routine laboratory sterilization of most media, buffers and biological fluids
   0.45	Clarification and prefiltration of solutions and solvents
