Vacuum Driven Sterile Filters

The Stericup® and Steritop™ comprise MilliporeSigma’s legendary high performance vacuum filtration systems. Stericup® filter units are available with a receiver flask for processing and storing volumes from 150 mL up to 1,000 mL.

There’s Only One Stericup® Vacuum Driven Sterile Filter.

Precise assays start with high performance Stericup® media filtration. Accept no substitutes.

Stericup® and Steritop™ filter units with improved Millipore Express® PLUS membranes are the gold standard because they are:
  • Ideally suited for sterile filtration of a variety of complex cell culture medias, buffers, and reagents
  • Designed for maximum flow rate
  • Designed for extremely low protein binding
  • Intelligently designed with stable, no-tip, easy-grip, stackable compact profiles especially valuable in tight spaces like laminar flow hoods
  • Available with a selection of high performance MilliporeSigma membranes and processing volumes
