Millipore Filter with Cytiva ReadyMate Connector 1/4 in. Barb 7 Assemblies

Millipore SLFG05010 Millex-FG Filter Assembly – 0.20 µm PTFE, ReadyMate DAC, 1/4 in. Barb

This specialized Millipore SLFG05010 Millex-FG assembly combines industry-standard sterile venting with advanced aseptic connectivity. At its core is the Millex-FG 50 mm filter, equipped with a 0.20 µm hydrophobic Fluoropore (PTFE) membrane that serves as an absolute barrier to moisture and microbial contaminants. Integrated into this filter is a Cytiva ReadyMate Disposable Aseptic Connector (DAC) featuring a 1/4-inch hose barb. The ReadyMate's genderless design allows for safe, leak-proof, and fully aseptic fluid or gas pathway connections in non-classified laboratory and manufacturing environments. This pre-assembled unit eliminates the need for manual tube-welding or working under a laminar flow hood, making it an ideal, ready-to-use solution for venting sterile single-use bags, protecting bioreactor gas lines, or securing vacuum manifolds during critical biopharmaceutical workflows.

Technical Performance and Design

• Hydrophobic PTFE Membrane: The 0.20 µm Fluoropore membrane repels aqueous fluids while allowing free passage of gases, effectively preventing aerosolized bio-burden from contaminating sterile environments or damaging vacuum pumps.

• ReadyMate Aseptic Connector: Features Cytiva's genderless DAC technology, which simplifies inventory and minimizes operator error by allowing any two ReadyMate halves to securely lock together to create a sterile path.

• 1/4-inch Barb Integration: Sized for standard 1/4" ID bioprocess tubing (such as silicone or C-Flex), enabling immediate integration into existing peristaltic pump skids or single-use fluid routing manifolds.

• Bi-Directional Flow: The Millex-FG filter housing is designed to support bi-directional flow, providing flexibility in how the assembly is oriented within the gas or vacuum line.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Bioreactor Venting: Provides a sterile barrier for gas exhaust or intake lines on single-use bioreactors and fermentation vessels.

• Aseptic System Integration: The ReadyMate connector allows the filter to be securely snapped into a sterile fluid pathway without the strict requirement of an ISO-classified cleanroom.

• Vacuum Line Protection: Serves as a highly effective moisture trap and microbial barrier between a liquid trap flask and a centralized vacuum system.

• Reduced Setup Time: By arriving pre-assembled, it eliminates the labor and validation risks associated with manually cutting tubing and zip-tying standard barbed filters in-house.
