Flow Cytometry Cap Cell Strainer with Micron 20um Nylon Mesh Screen Customized for Facs Tubes

The cell strainer cap for a FACS tube, short for fluorescence-activated cell sorting tube, serves as an accessory to strain out undesired debris and clumps from the cell suspension prior to its analysis in a flow cytometer or FACS machine. These caps are typically equipped with a mesh or sieve-like structure that acts as a strainer, enabling the passage of individual cells while trapping larger particles. They are specifically designed to snugly fit atop a FACS tube, offering a convenient means to directly filter the sample into the tube.

Share Filters' cell strainers are crafted from precise nylon filter mesh with uniformly spaced pores, supported by a polypropylene (PP) frame. They come in various mesh sizes, ranging from 5μm to 200μm, each color-coded for easy identification. These caps, designed for 3ml and 5ml tubes, feature vented positions for optimal performance.

Choosing the right cell strainer depends on what micron of cell and size test or flow tube that the sample is in. Once these are determined, the cell strainer cap fits right on the top of the tube tightly, so that all the material in the tube must pass through the strainer.

This just a part of specifications which common used.

Mesh count (n/cm), (n/in)

The mesh count stands for the number of openings per inch.

 

Mesh opening (μm)

The mesh opening w is the distance between two adjacent warp or weft thread.

 

Thread diameter (μm)

The thread diameter is measured on the thread before weaving.

 

Open area (%)

The percentage of the open are is the sum of all mesh openings as percentage of the total fabric area
