General description

This item is a direct replacement for SCGVU10RE
Work with ease and filter with confidence with Stericup® and Steritop® Filtration Systems.

Stericup® and Steritop® vacuum sterile filtration devices use reliable, high-performance membranes for optimum sterile filtration of laboratory reagents, buffers, and media. These devices combine superior flow rates and throughput with low non-specific binding and a stable, no-tip design.

This Stericup® 0.22 μm pore size polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane filter unit combines a 500 mL bottle-top with a 1000 mL receiver flask and cap for processing and storage.

Application

For Research Use Only
Stericup® and Steritop® systems are designed to reduce foaming and protein denaturation while maximizing flow and can be used for sterile vacuum filtration of aqueous solutions such as tissue culture media and biological fluids.

  • Tissue culture media +/- additives
  • Buffers
  • Biological solutions

Features and Benefits

  • The Quick Release filter funnel disconnects from the receiver bottle with just a quarter turn—reducing the likelihood of spillage and making it easier to manipulate on the bench or under the hood.
  • Bold product identification on the Steritop® filter funnel plainly displays membrane characteristics, including composition and pore size, for rapid, application-appropriate product selection.
  • Click seal cap is flanged and modified to enable a firm grip in wet or dry conditions—and a tactile stop confirms secure closure. Worry less about the possibility of spilling or contamination of sterilized contents.
  • Frosted, ample writing surface on the receiver bottle and lighter cap color facilitate clear labelling to improve legibility and reduce unreadable smears.
  • Click seal cap rests on the side to avoid risk of contamination.
  • Receiver bottles are stackable to save storage space.

Questions

1–10 of 15 Questions  
  1. Can we filter oil-type liquids with Stericup® filters?

    Can we filter oil-type liquids with Stericup® filters?

    1 answer
    1. Likely not, due to pore size/possible fouling/chemical compatibility. Refer to our guide, "Chemical compatibility of filter components": https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/302/855/membrane-chemical-compatibility-ds2532en-ms.pdf

      Helpful?

  2. What is the difference between classic Stericup® filters and Stericup® “Quick Release” filters?

    1 answer
    1. Stericup® Quick Release, or “QR”, filters feature a connection between funnel filter and receiver bottle that requires only a quarter-turn release to facilitate funnel removal. These filters come fully engaged – there is no need to tighten before use. The receiver bottle cap has flanges on the top surface to improve grip, as well as a positive lock stop to ensure a leak-proof seal with the receiver bottle. Other improvements include a large, frosted writing surface on the receiver bottle and a lighter cap color to facilitate labelling, more prominent volume markings on the filtration funnel and receiver bottle, and a product label with a peel-off lot record strip on the bag for easy viewing in storage.

  3. What is the expiration date of Stericup® and Steritop® filters?

    1 answer
    1. Typically 3 years from sterilization.

  5. Can Stericup® and Steritop® filters be reused?

    1 answer
    1. All Stericup® and Steritop® filters were developed for single use, disposable processing.

  7. Can Stericup® and Steritop® filters be used to prepare solutions that will be administered to patients?

    1 answer
    1. No, all Stericup® and Steritop® devices are Research Use Only.

      Helpful?

  8. Can Stericup® bottles be placed inside freezers for long-term storage of media?

    1 answer
    1. You can successfully freeze and store many aqueous solutions (such as culture media) in Stericup® bottles at temperatures up to -20 °C (-4 °F). It is strongly recommended that you run a sample stability trial under your actual storage conditions prior to using Stericup® bottles for frozen storage.

  9. What leachables are detected during filtration processes using Stericup® filters?

    1 answer
    1. We have not performed extractables/leachables studies for our Stericup® filters.

  10. What is the maximum processing volume for Stericup® and Steritop® filters? Can I add more volume after initial filtration?

    1 answer
    1. All Stericup® and Steritop® filters were developed for single-use application. The maximum volume is dependent on the receiver bottle capacity. Stericup® filters come with a receiver bottle with a specified maximum volume. For Steritop® filters, the maximum recommended volume is 2 L with an appropriate-sized receiver bottle. Larger processing volumes can result in membrane fouling, increase chance of spillage and contamination, and lead to possible airlock*.
      *Note that devices with PES membranes can airlock if filtered to dryness. Some liquid must be left on top of the filter, then the system stopped, receiver changed or emptied, and more sample volume added before restart. This increases the chance of spillage.
