Buying advice

When choosing a bottletop filter, consider membrane material (PES for fast flow and low binding, CA for aqueous solutions), pore size (0.22µm for sterilization, 0.45µm for particle removal), and volume. Ensure compatibility with your bottle neck size and filtration method (vacuum or pressure). Sterility is critical for cell culture work. Higher-priced options often offer faster flow and lower extractables.
