BIOLOGIX Lab Cell Strainer 3 Sizes 40µm 70µm 100µm Polypropylene

Description

Product Overview

The BIOLOGIX Lab Cell Strainer set is engineered for laboratories that demand precision, reliability, and ease of use in cell filtration processes. Each strainer features a uniform mesh constructed from a blend of high‑grade polypropylene and reinforced nylon, delivering evenly distributed pores that prevent clogging and ensure consistent flow rates. Available in three distinct mesh sizes—40 µm (purple), 70 µm (orange), and 100 µm (green)—the set accommodates a wide range of cell types and experimental protocols. The strainers are sized to fit standard 50 ml centrifuge tubes, and the polypropylene frame includes a molded tab for single‑hand operation, minimizing the risk of sample contamination. Package dimensions are 11.3 × 7.44 × 5.2 inches, and each unit weighs just 10.9 ounces, making storage and handling straightforward.

Usage

These strainers excel in environments where clean, single‑cell suspensions are critical, such as flow cytometry preparation, stem cell research, and clinical diagnostics. The 40 µm mesh is ideal for separating small cells and debris, while the 70 µm and 100 µm options are suited for larger cell aggregates and tissue fragments. Because the strainers are compatible with standard 50 ml centrifuge tubes, they integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, whether you are processing tissue digests, preparing samples for microscopy, or conducting downstream assays that require contaminant‑free suspensions. The one‑hand tab design allows technicians to hold the tube and operate the strainer simultaneously, reducing handling time and improving laboratory efficiency.

Why Choose Us

Choosing BIOLOGIX means selecting a brand with a reputation for quality and scientific rigor. Our strainers undergo strict quality control to guarantee mesh uniformity and structural integrity, ensuring that each pore remains open and functional across repeated uses. The combination of polypropylene durability and nylon strength provides resistance to chemicals commonly used in labs, such as PBS, ethanol, and mild detergents, extending the lifespan of each strainer. Additionally, the color‑coded system eliminates guesswork, allowing rapid identification of the required mesh size during busy experimental runs. Our customer support team offers technical assistance and replacement parts, reinforcing our commitment to reliable, long‑term performance.

FAQ

Can the strainers be sterilized for repeated use?

Yes, the polypropylene and nylon construction tolerates autoclaving at 121 °C for up to 15 minutes, as well as chemical sterilization with ethanol or isopropanol.

What is the maximum flow rate for each mesh size?

Typical flow rates range from 1 ml/min for the 40 µm mesh to 3 ml/min for the 100 µm mesh when using standard laboratory vacuum systems.

Are the strainers compatible with tubes larger than 50 ml?

While designed for 50 ml tubes, the strainers can be used with larger tubes provided the tube opening accommodates the 30 mm diameter frame without deformation.

How do I prevent the mesh from tearing during heavy sample loads?

Distribute the sample evenly and avoid forcing large tissue fragments through the mesh. Pre‑filtering with a larger pore size (e.g., 200 µm) can reduce stress on the strainer.

What warranty does BIOLOGIX offer on these strainers?

All BIOLOGIX Lab Cell Strainers come with a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures.
