PR1MA™ Signature Cell Strainers
Clean, reliable filtration with every use.
The PR1MA™ Cell Strainer system is a fast, efficient, and easy-to-use solution designed to streamline the process of cell isolation and filtration. Ideal for flow cytometry, this advanced straining system is perfect for detaching, isolating, and filtering cells from clusters and tissue samples.
Each cell strainer features a durable polypropylene frame supporting a nylon mesh, available in eight distinct, color-coded pore sizes ranging from 5 uM to
100 uM. Eight fine mesh options offer enhanced control for filtering cell aggregates and clumps, improving experimental precision.
The innovative frame design significantly improves filtration performance. By eliminating the “air-lock” effect, PR1MA™ Signature Cell Strainers promote faster flow-through and better aeration, reducing spillover and processing time.
Key Features
