We would like to inform our customers that Sartorius has fully redesigned the Sartolab® RF/BT units for vacuum filtration of cell culture media, buffers and reagents and also for the sterile filtration of cell cultures. In the past decade, the productivity of cell cultures has risen significantly, and high cell density cell cultures became extremely difficult to filter. Therefore, Sartorius has redesigned the complete Sartolab® RF/BT portfolio to offer a product better adapted to those new filtration challenges. New vacuum filtration units (samples) will be available for tests at the end of first quarter 2021 to enable a progressive transition to the new Sartolab® RF/BT after their official launch mid of 2021.
Read the manufacturer's official notification letter for more detailed changes and the units to which the changes apply.
