Last edited: | Cell Culture - Back to overview
To make your cell culture even safer, we have developed closed filling cups (-CF1 / -CF2) for the CELLdisc in close cooperation with our customers.
Frickenhausen, March 2022 - Working in a highly regulated environment requires maximal security on sterility and hence a closed system for fluid transfer which excludes any opening of a cell culture disposable during cell cultivation. For such applications Greiner Bio-One has developed the new CELLdisc versions with closed filling caps. These consist of flexible USP class VI certified silicone tubes attached to the CELLdisc screw cap which can be safely connected to liquid reservoirs like media bags using the included MPC connector. The closed filling caps are preassembled with the respective CELLdisc and the entire disposable is sterilized as one unit, assuring maximal sterility, system integrity and highest customer convenience from the first moment.
Two versions are avialabale; single tubing (-CF1) or double tubing (-CF2). Furthermore, we have added an in-between variant with regular cap and with external filters (-EXF) to the product group.
With external filters (-EXF)
Manufactured with reinforced hydrophobic PTFE membranes and have a pore size of 0.2μm. The CELLdisc with external filter is identified by an -EXF suffix to the respective catalogue number.
With external filters and closed filling cap with single tubing (-CF1)
Consisting of flexible USP class VI certified silicone tubing attached to the CELLdisc screw cap which can be safely connected to liquid reservoirs like media bags via the MPC connector. The closed filling cap with single tubing is identified by -CF1 suffix.
With external filters and closed filling cap with double tubing (-CF2)
Consisting of flexible USP class VI certified silicone tubing attached to the CELLdisc screw cap which can be safely connected to liquid reservoirs like media bags via the MPC connector. An additional dip-in tube simplifies the removal of media from the device. The closed filling cap with double tubing is identified by -CF2 suffix to the catalogue number.
