VacuCap device is • Supor® membrane provides high flow rates • High throughputs • Built-in prefilter prevents clogging and increases throughput of viscous and high-particulate solutions removed from the sterile packing and placed on the receiving bottle with gasket seated on the rim of the receiving bottle.* • VacuCap 60 filters 100 mL - 1 L, VacuCap 90 filters 1 - 5 L 2.The feed tubing is connected • Draws directly from mixing reservoir • Eliminates possibility of contamination from transfer steps–filters directly into container • Patented small design accepts a variety of collection vessels and reduces storage space and waste to the port marked “INLET” on the top of the VacuCap device. The opposite end of the feed tubing is placed in the vessel from which the unfiltered fluid will be drawn. 3. Vacuum tubing is Applications • Vacuum-driven filtration of cell and tissue culture media, microbiological media, aqueous solutions, protein solutions, and buffers • Prefiltration or clarification of aqueous solutions connected to the port marked “VACUUM” on the top of the VacuCap device. Refer to product insert for safety precautions. • PF version useful for sterilization of hard-to-filter solutions 4.

When sufficient vacuum is created, the VacuCap device will seal securely to the container top and fluid will be drawn into the filtrate container. 5.When filtration is complete, the vacuum pump is switched off and the vacuum inside the receiving container is allowed to dissipate. Refer to the product insert for complete instructions. * Always use sterile bottles that are designed to be used with a vacuum. We strongly recommend a safety shield during vacuum procedures.
