Sterile Millex GP and HP Syringe Filters with the Millipore Express PLUS Membrane
Benefit from the fastest flow rates and lowest protein binding with Millipores new sterile Millex GP and HP syringe filters!
These filters use the popular Millipore Express PLUS PES membrane in a 33 mm diameter. The Express PLUS membrane is designed with an asymmetric pore distribution to provide the fastest flow rate on the filter market today. Plus, the membrane binds up to 8x less protein than competing brands. These 33 mm Millex filters with the Express PLUS membrane are available in 0.22 m (GP) and 0.45 m (HP) pore sizes to suit your filtration needs. Millipores family of Millex filter units has set the standard for reliable small volume filtration. Millex filters are available in 4, 13, 25, 33, and 50 mm diameters with Express PLUS (PES), Durapore (PVDF), Fluoropore, glass fiber, mixed cellulose esters (MCE), and LCR membranes.

Features
