Omicron 135047 Borosilicate Glass Fiber Filter 0.2 Micron 47mm

Description

Product Overview

The Omicron™ 135047 filter is engineered from high‑purity borosilicate glass fiber, delivering a binder‑free matrix that maintains structural integrity while providing exceptional particle capture. With a nominal pore size of 0.2 micron, the filter reliably removes bacteria, yeast, and mycoplasma from liquid samples, ensuring a sterile end point for downstream processes. Its compact 47 mm diameter fits standard laboratory filtration housings, allowing seamless integration into existing workflows without the need for additional adapters or modifications.

Designed for demanding laboratory environments, this filter offers a balance of low pressure drop and high flow rates, reducing processing time and minimizing sample loss. The absence of chemical binders eliminates the risk of leachables that could interfere with sensitive assays, making it a preferred choice for cell culture media, vaccine production, and diagnostic reagent preparation. Each pack contains 100 units, providing a reliable inventory for high‑throughput labs.

Technical specifications include a package dimension of 9.65 × 6.85 × 3.19 inches and a net weight of 10.23 ounces per pack. The filter is certified by Omicron Scientific and holds a Best Sellers Rank of #4 in Glass Fiber Lab Filters, reflecting its strong adoption across research institutions worldwide.

Usage

Ideal for final filtration steps, the Omicron 135047 filter excels in sterilizing small‑volume samples where precision and cleanliness are paramount. Researchers commonly employ it to treat contaminated cell culture supernatants, ensuring removal of residual mycoplasma before downstream analysis or storage. Its 0.2 micron rating meets stringent regulatory requirements for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, providing confidence that critical products remain free from microbial contamination.

The filter’s versatility extends to a range of applications, including purification of enzyme solutions, preparation of sterile buffers, and filtration of diagnostic reagents. Its compatibility with standard laboratory vacuum manifolds and pressure‑driven systems allows users to select the most convenient method for their workflow, whether operating under aseptic conditions or in a biosafety cabinet. By integrating this filter, laboratories can streamline their sterility protocols and reduce the need for multiple filtration stages.

FAQ

What types of contaminants does the 0.2 micron filter remove?

The filter is rated to capture particles down to 0.2 micron, effectively removing bacteria, yeast, and mycoplasma from liquid samples. This level of filtration meets most sterility requirements for cell culture media, vaccine intermediates, and diagnostic reagents.

Can the filter be used with both vacuum and pressure‑driven systems?

Yes, the Omicron 135047 filter is compatible with standard laboratory vacuum manifolds as well as pressure‑driven filtration setups. Its robust glass fiber construction tolerates a range of operating pressures, allowing flexibility in how you integrate it into your existing workflow.

Is the binder‑free design safe for sensitive assays?

Absolutely. The absence of chemical binders means there are no leachable substances that could interfere with downstream assays, such as PCR, ELISA, or cell viability tests. This makes the filter especially suitable for applications where sample integrity is critical.

How many filters are included per pack and what is the recommended storage condition?

Each pack contains 100 individual 47 mm filters, sealed in a moisture‑controlled pouch to preserve sterility. Store the filters at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to maintain optimal performance over time.

What support does Omicron Scientific provide if I encounter issues?

Our customer service team offers technical assistance, protocol guidance, and rapid replacement of any defective units. We also provide detailed product documentation and can arrange on‑site training if required, ensuring you get the most out of your filtration system.
