Autofil Laboratory Filtration Systems

The Autofil™ system incorporates the following innovations:

• Optional Quick-Connect™ pedestal for stable, hands-free operation
• Ergonomic SECUREgrasp™ bottle for easy handling
• Bottle-top filter fits any bottle with a 45 thread
• Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane filter with 0.22 μm or 0.45 μm pore sizes
• Forward-facing graduation marks on tubes and bottles

Microbiological sterilization or clarification of: 

• Buffers
• Solutions
• Tissue culture media
• Microbiological media
• Other biological media

• With pre-sterilized funnels or filter bottles, preparation time can be reduced
• Combined filtration unit minimizes the risk of cross-contamination 
• SECUREgrasp™ bottle can be used as a storage bottle for completed solutions
• Single-use materials virtually eliminate cross-contamination between Autofil™ System components
• All-in-one filtration unit reduces the chance of external error 
• Quick-Connect™ pedestal offers fast connection and hands-free operation
