Filter Units

Filter Units

Our range of filter units are used to support sterile sample preparation, media clarification, and vacuum filtration. A variety of high-performance options are available from Thermo Scientific, Corning, Fisherbrand, Sartorius, Merck, and Duran.

Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ Rapid-Flow™ Sterile Disposable Filter Units with PES, CN, SFCA or Nylon Membranes

Increase filtration efficiency. PES membranes and exclusive Rapid-Flow design provide fast flow rates and high-throughput while defending against cell culture contamination.

Fisherbrand™ Disposable PES Filter Units

Increase cell culture sample protection with Fisherbrand sterile disposable vacuum filter units with PES membranes. The polyethersulfone (PES) membranes have low extractables and low protein binding for use in sterile filtration and clarification of cell culture media and serum.

    Corning™ 500 mL Vacuum Filter/Storage Bottle System

    Vacuum filtration systems use a square filter membrane support system that increases filtration rates with printed funnels to identify membrane type and product number. The system consists of a polystyrene filter funnel joined by an adapter ring to a removable polystyrene storage bottle with a separate sterile polyethylene cap.

    Fisherbrand™ Diaphragm Pump

    With carbon fibre reinforced PTFE pump heads, this chemical-resistant vacuum pump is ideal for applications involving aggressive solvents and acidic vapors.

    Syringeless Filters and Syringe Filters

    Syringe filters and syringeless filters are commonly constructed from PVDF or PTFE. They are used to filter impurities such as fine particles from small to medium sample volumes prior to use and are suitable for both aqueous and aqueous-organic samples.

    Sartorius™ Cellulose Acetate Membrane Filters

    Combining high flow rates and thermal stability with very low adsorption characteristics, these filters are well suited for use in pressure filtration devices.

    FAQ

    Vacuum filter units use pressure to draw liquid through a membrane into a receiver, while bottle-top filter units screw directly onto a bottle for collection. Thermo Scientific Nalgene, Corning, Fisherbrand, and Sartorius options support fast media prep, sterile sample handling, and routine clarification.

    Choose vacuum units for larger volumes, viscous samples, or higher throughput. Choose bottle-top units when direct-to-bottle collection and convenience matter most. Corning, Fisherbrand, and Sartorius offer common lab formats, while Duran supports reusable glass workflows.

    Use 0.2 μm for sterilising liquids, 0.45 μm for clarification, and 1.0–5.0 μm for prefiltration. Thermo Scientific Nalgene, Merck, and Sartorius filter units in the range support media preparation, particle removal, and longer membrane life.

    Many single-use filter units arrive pre-sterilised, especially bottle-top and vacuum systems from Thermo Scientific Nalgene, Fisherbrand, Corning, and Sartorius. Always check packaging before use. Reusable Duran glassware and holders need validated cleaning and sterilisation between runs.

    Single-use plastic units are designed for one-time use to protect sterility and performance. Reusable glass, stainless steel, or autoclavable assemblies can be cleaned and used again, but membranes are often still single-use. Duran and Thermo Scientific holders fit reusable lab routines.
