Sterile Lab Media Filtration & Cultureware

Critical in reducing contamination in culture, sterile laboratory media filters are used to remove particulate contamination, sterilize liquid reagents, and clarify solutions of laboratory reagents, buffers, and media. Our sterile filtration solutions feature high-performance membranes and are available in a wide variety of formats including syringe filters, vacuum-driven filter units, and bottle top filters. Stericup® filter units are available with a receiver flask for processing and storing volumes from 150 mL up to 1,000 mL.

Millipore® Sterile Filters

Sterile filtration devices are used to clarify and prevent microbial contamination of cell culture media, cell culture reagents, buffers, biological samples, proteinaceous samples, and more. These devices provide an alternative to autoclaving, which can degrade sensitive, heat-labile biological components. We provide small to large-volume Millipore® sterile filters for cell culture, preparation of reagents for long-term storage, and other applications.

Stericup® Vacuum Filters

Stericup® filtration devices have been the most trusted systems in media and buffer filtration for decades. The next-generation Stericup® Quick Release vacuum filtration devices present ergonomic design updates that optimize usability and streamline the filtration process while protecting essential cell cultures with the renowned performance of Millipore® membranes.   

The minds of Millipore® scientists don’t stop with the most reliable sterile filtration in the world. Our commitment to sustainability drove us to design a dependable sterile filter device that helps labs attain sustainability goals. Stericup® E and Steritop® E filters provide the same steadfast sterile filtration cell culturists worldwide have chosen for decades—but attach directly to commercial media bottles, eliminating the plastic filter funnel to reduce plastic waste up to 48%.

An assortment of Millex<sup>®</sup> syringe filters in various colors and sizes, displayed against a white background. These filters represent a range of small-volume filtration options for laboratory use. The filters come in different colors such as blue, green, yellow, purple, and red, indicating different filter types or pore sizes. Each filter has a circular shape with a conical funnel-like structure on top for attaching to a syringe. The central part of the filters is white with labeling that includes the brand name “Millex®”. Some filters have a transparent top section while others are opaque. There is also one funnel accessory included in the image which is used to assist with pouring liquids into the filter. These filters set the standard in small-volume filtration (1-200 mL), and their unsurpassed consistency in sample preparation has led to the development of many methods specifying their use.
