Description
Cell strainer, 40 µm, is a single-use laboratory sieve for cell isolation, tissue dissociation and sample clarification. It is made from nylon mesh with evenly distributed pores that provide a defined 40 µm separation cut-off for consistent filtration results. An overhanging grip surface allows aseptic handling with tweezers, helping operators keep the working area clean and reduce contamination risk. The unit seats securely on conical 50 ml tubes, so filtrates can be collected directly into standard centrifuge formats used throughout cell culture and molecular biology laboratories. Each strainer is individually packed and sterilized by beta irradiation, and the product is DNase-, RNase- and pyrogen-free. A sterilization certificate is available as a free download. Offered by manufacturer Labbox in a practical pack of 50 pieces, this cell strainer supports medium-throughput workflows where reliable mesh quality and tube compatibility matter. Typical applications include primary cell preparation, debris removal from suspensions and preparation of single-cell samples ahead of counting, staining or further culture.

Questions about Cell strainer, 40um, 50 pcs
What is this article?
Cell strainer, 40um, 50 pcs is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Cell strainers, inserts & scrapers, inside Cell culture, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A cell strainer is a sterile mesh, often 40 µm or 70 µm, that gives a single-cell suspension. An insert is a membrane cup that hangs in a well so two compartments share a medium. A scraper lifts adherent cells mechanically. Mesh size, pore size and sterility are the specification.
Cell culture grows cells outside the body. The medium, often with serum, supplies what the flask does not. A flask or a dish is the vessel, treated so the cells attach or left untreated so they float. Contamination by microbes, or by another cell line, is the ordinary failure. Cold-chain articles in this work, including serum, are never part of free standard delivery. Lines are catalogued by ATCC. Papers are on PubMed. Practice is summarised by the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
