Vacufil is a complete vacuum filtration unit designed for efficient, high-speed, and contamination-free filtration of biological and chemical solutions. Built with advanced membrane technology, this system is ideal for laboratories requiring reliable filtration of proteinaceous solutions, culture media, and sera.
Vacufil units are widely used in international markets such as the USA, UK, Germany, and Europe due to their low protein binding, high flow rate, and superior filtration performance.
What is Vacufil Vacuum Filtration Unit?
Vacufil is a ready-to-use, complete vacuum filtration system that includes a filtration funnel, membrane, and receiver bottle. It is specially designed to handle sensitive biological samples without affecting their composition.
The unit typically features a 75mm diameter Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane, ensuring efficient filtration with minimal protein loss.
Where Is Vacufil Used?
Vacufil filtration units are commonly used in:
-
Biopharmaceutical Laboratories: Filtration of serum and protein solutions
-
Microbiology Labs: Sterile filtration of culture media
-
Research & Development: Sample preparation and purification
-
Biotechnology Industry: Processing of sensitive biological fluids
-
Chemical Laboratories: Filtration of aqueous and mild chemical solutions
They are ideal for applications where sample integrity and purity are critical.
Why Choose Vacufil?
Vacufil is designed for high efficiency and sample protection, especially for protein-based solutions.
Key advantages include:
- Low protein binding membrane (PES)
- High flow rate for faster filtration
- Complete ready-to-use system
- Reduces sample loss
- Prevents contamination
- Suitable for sensitive biological samples
These features make it perfect for biotech and pharmaceutical workflows.
Material and Construction
Vacufil units are made from high-quality laboratory-grade materials, ensuring durability and performance:
-
Membrane: Polyethersulfone (PES)
-
Housing: Polypropylene
-
Funnel & Bottle: Polystyrene
This combination provides chemical resistance, strength, and sterile compatibility.
Working Principle
Vacufil works on a vacuum-driven filtration process:
- Vacuum pressure is applied below the membrane
- Liquid is pulled through the filter rapidly
- Contaminants and particles are retained
- Filtered liquid is collected in the receiver bottle
This ensures fast, efficient, and reliable filtration.
