CellTrics™ Cell Strainers
CellTrics™ provide an efficient solution for isolating cells and nuclei from tissue debris and aggregates. Designed with a patented ventilation hole and a vertically sloped mesh, these filters achieve extreme flow rates while minimizing cell loss. They are ideal for preparing homogeneous cell suspensions for flow cytometry, cell culture, or cell separation columns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical guidance for selecting and using CellTrics cell strainers in laboratory workflows.
CellTrics filters are designed for universal fitment, compatible with various tube diameters including standard 5 mL flow cytometry tubes and 15 mL or 50 mL conical centrifuge tubes.
Yes, these cell strainers are supplied in sterile, single-pack packaging to ensure sample integrity and prevent contamination during sensitive cell culture or diagnostic procedures.
Selection depends on the target particle size. Common sizes range from 5 µm for nuclei isolation up to 150 µm for larger cell clusters or tissue fragments. Utilizing the correct mesh prevents downstream clogging of flow cytometers.
While designed for individual sample preparation in standard tubes, multiple filters can be used sequentially for larger batches. For continuous high-volume filtration, ensure the mesh size is appropriate to maintain consistent flow rates without clogging.
Yes, the finer mesh sizes, particularly the 5 µm and 10 µm options, are specifically optimized for the rapid isolation of nuclei from suspension, ensuring a clean sample for downstream genomic or flow cytometric analysis.
