FACS/Cell Strainer Caps for 5mL FACS Tubes & Culture Tubes

• Pore sizes: 20μm, 35μm, 70μm, 100μm
• Color coded by pore size
• Sterile pouches of 25 strainer caps
• E-Beam sterilized (SAL 10-6)

LIGHT LABS is pleased to announce the introduction of several new FACS / cell strainer caps for use with 5mL (12×75mm) culture tubes and FACS tubes.

These cell strainers are ideal for detaching, isolating and straining cells from clusters and tissues. Their built in compatibility with 12×75mm culture tubes and FACS tubes makes them especially useful for pre-sorting and preparing samples for Flourescence-activated Cell Sorting (FACS).

Typically a 35μm porous mesh is used to obtain a single-cell suspension and to prevent clogging. However, a multitude of FACS users have cited applications requiring finer pore sizes for a higher level of anti-clog protection, while others require a larger pore size for pre-sorting and/or for more efficient rapid flow.
