Vacuum Filtration Systems | Corning

Vacuum filtration is a scientific technique that separates a solid from a liquid with pressure that pulls the liquid through the filter while the solids build up on the outside of the filter membrane. 

Obtaining the best performance from your vacuum filtration processes requires selecting the right products for the job and then using those products effectively by maximizing filter flow rate and throughput or capacity.

The vacuum-driven filters offer several different designs and styles in disposable plastic products. Corning vacuum filtration solutions include vacuum filter/storage bottle systems that come in four sizes: 150 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, and 1L and feature printing on the funnel for easy product identification and an angled hose connector to simplify vacuum line attachment. The vacuum filter/storage system consists of a polystyrene filter funnel joined by an adapter ring to a removable polystyrene storage bottle with a separate sterile polyethylene cap. Receiver bottles feature easy grip sides for improved handling. Additional Corning polystyrene receiver/storage bottles can be ordered separately to increase throughput.

All filtration systems retain some amount of liquid as it passes through the membrane, which can result in loss of media and reagents. This retained liquid is called "hold-up" volume. In a recent internal study, Corning filtration systems were shown to have the lowest “hold-up” volume of all major brands, helping you save valuable media and reagents every time you filter.
