With EASYstrainer™ Greiner Bio-One introduces a novel product for fast and safe filtration of cell suspensions such as from tissue dissociation for flow cytometry. The filter fits all standard 50 ml tubes and is available with filter mesh sizes of 40, 70 and 100 µm.

The innovative design of EASYstrainer™ allows for secure aseptic handling with a clearly reduced risk of contaminating the filtered cell suspension. In particular, a circumferential mantle surface and an additional handle can be used to grip the device firmly without getting in contact with the wetted filter material. Furthermore, the single blister pack allows for convenient and aseptic removal of the strainer.

A striking feature of EASYstrainer™ is its venting slot between tube and filter. This feature guarantees air leaving the tube readily while filtrated solution flows through the mesh. Thus, problems seen with other strainer brands such as liquid trapping between tube and filter as well as overspill of cell suspension are things of the past
