The SureStrain™ Premium Cell Strainer system is a fast and easy-to-use solution for detaching, isolating and straining cells from clusters and tissues. A polypropylene frame supports a nylon mesh that is available in three color-coded porosities, 40µm (blue), 70µm (white) and 100µm (yellow). A tiered filtration process is made possible by the SureStrain™'s unique interlocking stackable design.
SureStrain™'s molded grip and unique geometry ensure aseptic handling and eliminate the contamination risks associated with fingers contacting the filtered suspension, mesh and/or interior surfaces. The sterile strainer can be easily removed from the special blister packaging without touching its interior surface or mesh.
The advanced frame/housing design also contributes to enhanced performance and reduced processing time, by eliminating the "air-lock" effect. Improved aeration allows air to escape while filtrate is entering the tube, preventing messy spillovers. Simply open the sterile package, attach the strainer to the top of a 50 ml tube and add your cell suspension/sample. Or, attach the provided reducing adapter for use in 15 ml tubes. SureStrain™ produces an optimized filtrate for maximum flow in separate columns and cytometers.
