Description
The FeaVacu® Vacuum Filtration Device with 0.22 μm hydrophilic PTFE membrane is designed for high-throughput filtration of aqueous solutions, buffers, cell culture media, and chemically demanding reagents. This disposable vacuum filtration system supports reliable bacterial-retentive filtration, clean filtrate, and broad chemical compatibility, making it ideal for laboratory, research, bioprocess, and analytical applications.
Important Note: This device is non-sterile as supplied. If sterile conditions are required, the device must be autoclaved prior to use. Hydrophilic PTFE membranes cannot be sterilized by gamma irradiation or chemical sterilization and should only be sterilized by autoclaving.
Constructed from USP Class VI polystyrene, the device is available in 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1000 mL formats, featuring a vacuum bottle top with nozzle and a receiving bottle. Its single-use design minimizes cross-contamination risk and simplifies laboratory workflows. After autoclaving of cell culture media, buffer preparation, and analytical sample processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the FeaVacu® Vacuum Filtration Device sterile?
No. The FeaVacu® device is non-sterile by default. If sterile filtration is required, the device must be autoclaved prior to use. Note that the hydrophilic PTFE membrane cannot be sterilized by gamma irradiation or chemical sterilization and should only be sterilized using autoclaving methods.
What is the membrane pore size of FeaVacu® Vacuum Filtration Device?
The device features a 0.22 μm hydrophilic PTFE membrane, suitable for bacterial retention and sterile filtration.
Can this non-sterile vacuum filtration device be used for sterile filtration?
Yes. The FeaVacu® Vacuum Filtration Device can be used for sterile filtration workflows after appropriate steam sterilization. The device is supplied non-sterile and should be autoclaved prior to use when aseptic processing is required. Hydrophilic PTFE membranes are not suitable for gamma irradiation sterilization.
Is this device compatible with chemically demanding solutions?
Yes, the hydrophilic PTFE membrane supports a broad range of aqueous solutions and reagents including buffers, media, and solvents compatible with PTFE.
Can I use it for cell culture media filtration?
Absolutely. FeaVacu® is ideal for sterile filtration of mammalian or microbial cell culture media before inoculation.
What volume options are available?
Available volumes include 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1000 mL formats to suit various laboratory workflows.
Is the device single-use or reusable?
The FeaVacu® device is single-use, disposable, and reduces cross-contamination risks.
How does FeaVacu® compare to vacuum filtration devices from leading brands?
The FeaVacu® Vacuum Filtration Device with hydrophilic 0.22 μm PTFE membrane offers performance and features comparable to vacuum filtration devices from established brands such as Pall® (AcroPak™), Millipore® (Steriflip™, Express™), and Sartorius® (Sartorius® vacuum units). Like these leading devices, FeaVacu® provides reliable bacterial retention, broad chemical compatibility, and flexible volume options (250 – 1000 mL), making it suitable for laboratory, cell culture media filtration, sterile buffer preparation, and analytical workflows.
