Sartolab® P20 devices are ready-to-use pressure filter units for the clarification and sterile filtration of media and aqueous solutions in batches from 100 mL to 10 L. Sartolab® P20 Plus with an incorporated prefilter is recommended for difficult-to-filter solutions like, for example, media that contains serum.
To maximize sample recovery after all visible liquid has been filtered, remove the syringe from the filter, draw in air, reconnect the syringe and use this air cushion to recover a part of this liquid remained in the filter.
Avoid air passage during the filtration process by using a weight on the side of the tubing immersed in the solution to be filtered.
Air ingress can create an air blockage in the membrane, thus reducing filtration performance.
