Corning Lab Cell Strainer 70 micron Nylon Mesh

Description

Product Overview

Corning’s Lab Cell Strainer model 352350 is engineered for scientific laboratories that demand reliable, repeatable filtration. Constructed from a durable nylon mesh with 70‑micron pores, the strainer delivers consistent flow rates and minimal clogging across a range of sample types. The mesh is evenly spaced, providing uniform particle capture and reducing variability in experimental results. Housed in a molded, color‑coded polypropylene frame, the device includes an extended lip designed for aseptic handling with forceps, minimizing contamination risk. Each unit weighs 8.82 ounces and measures 9 × 12 × 5 inches, fitting standard lab equipment and workflows.

Usage

This strainer excels in cell culture workflows, media preparation, and sample clarification where precise particle size exclusion is critical. Researchers can employ it during media filtration before inoculation, during downstream processing to remove debris, or in analytical protocols requiring clean filtrates. The extended lip enables secure grip with sterile forceps, supporting aseptic techniques in biosafety cabinets. Its compact size allows placement on bench tops, within incubators, or on portable workstations, making it versatile for both routine and high‑throughput laboratory environments.

Why Choose Us

Corning combines decades of glass and polymer expertise to deliver a strainer that meets rigorous scientific standards. The nylon mesh is chemically inert, resisting degradation from common laboratory reagents, while the polypropylene frame offers impact resistance and clear visual identification through color‑coding. Each strainer undergoes strict quality control, ensuring pore size uniformity and structural integrity. Individual packaging protects the product from dust and moisture, guaranteeing performance from the first use.

FAQ

What types of samples can be filtered with this strainer?

The strainer is suitable for cell culture media, protein solutions, buffer preparations, and any liquid requiring removal of particles larger than 70 microns.

Can the strainer be autoclaved?

The nylon mesh tolerates standard autoclave cycles, but the polypropylene frame should be sterilized using low‑temperature methods such as ethylene oxide or gamma irradiation to preserve its integrity.

Is the strainer compatible with standard laboratory equipment?

Yes, its dimensions allow use with common filter holders, vacuum manifolds, and syringe setups found in most research labs.

How does the color‑coded frame help in the lab?

The distinct color coding simplifies inventory management and reduces the risk of using the wrong filter size or type during multi‑step protocols.

What is the recommended storage condition?

Store the strainer in a dry, temperature‑controlled environment, preferably in its original packaging until ready for use.
