Cytiva - 4624 - VacuCap 0.45 µm, 90 mm, gamma-irradiated (10/pkg)Item must be purchased in units of 1

ITEM #: 24051061

VacuShield & VacuShield PF vacuum filtration devices, a Pall Life Sciences product, are innovative bottle-top filters for fast vacuum filtration of 100 mL to 5 L of aqueous solutions.

Replace current vacuum filter systems
Simplify workflow
Maximize filtration
Filter faster. Supor membrane provides high flow rates.
No need to constantly refill upper fluid reservoir.
Draws directly from the mixing reservoir.
Eliminates the possibility of contamination from transfer steps. Filters directly into the desired container.
Match filter to sample volume by choosing from two sizes.
Available built-in prefilter increases throughput of particulate-laden solutions such as serum-containing media.
Environmentally-friendly with minimal plastic waste.
Patented small design accepts a variety of collection vessels and reduces storage space and waste.
TA version available with tubing attached to each device for maximum convenience.
Gamma irradiated, eliminates potential contamination by EtO residuals Materials of Construction
