Millipore Filter Filter Assembly Y Two Filter Assemblies with 3 Filters Each

Millipore SLFG05010 Millex-FG 3-Way "Y" Manifold Assembly – 0.20 µm PTFE, Masterflex L/S 16

This specialized single-use assembly features three Millipore SLFG05010 Millex-FG 50 mm filters integrated into a custom "Y" branched tubing manifold. Each of the three terminal ends is equipped with a Millex-FG filter containing a 0.20 µm hydrophobic Fluoropore (PTFE) membrane, which serves as an absolute sterilizing-grade barrier for gases and a reliable liquid stop. The fluid pathway is constructed entirely of Masterflex 96410-16 (Precision L/S 16) platinum-cured silicone tubing, seamlessly routing a single primary line into three independent filter branches. This pre-plumbed, closed-system configuration is ideal for the simultaneous venting of multiple bioreactors, the equal distribution of sterile gases, or providing redundant vacuum line protection without the need to manually construct complex tubing harnesses inside a biological safety cabinet.

Technical Performance and Design

• Multi-Branch "Y" Geometry: Engineered to divide a primary fluid or gas flow into three distinct lines, allowing for the synchronized operation or venting of multiple vessels from a single source connection.

• 0.20 µm Hydrophobic PTFE: The three Millex-FG filters provide sterilizing-grade gas filtration and prevent aqueous liquids from bypassing the filter, effectively protecting pneumatic lines or vacuum pumps from bio-burden and moisture.

• Masterflex L/S 16 Silicone Tubing: The integrated 96410-16 tubing offers exceptional biocompatibility, ultra-low extractables, and precise compatibility with standard peristaltic pump drives if active fluid or gas pumping is required.

• Closed-System Integrity: Arriving pre-assembled, this manifold significantly reduces the risk of contamination and eliminates the labor-intensive process of cutting, fitting, and zip-tying individual barbs and filters in-house.

Product Specifications

• Base Filter Catalog: SLFG05010 (Millex-FG)

• Pore Size: 0.20 µm (Sterilizing Grade for Gases)

• Membrane Material: Hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

• Assembly Format: 3-Way Split / "Y" Manifold

• Tubing Material: Masterflex 96410-16 (Platinum-Cured Silicone, L/S 16)

Key Benefits & Applications

• Simultaneous Bioreactor Venting: Allows operators to safely vent three separate single-use bags, spinner flasks, or fermentation vessels simultaneously using a centralized gas line.

• Redundant Vacuum Protection: Excellent for complex liquid trap setups where multiple aspiration lines need to be protected by dedicated hydrophobic barriers before reaching the main house vacuum.

• Sterile Gas Distribution: Ideal for splitting a sterile overlay gas (like CO2 or Nitrogen) to multiple downstream receiving vessels in non-classified environments.

• Ready-to-Use Efficiency: Bypasses the strict validation and sterilization steps required when custom-building multi-point manifolds from scratch in a GMP setting.
