Description

Pop-Top Filter Holders are designed for filtration of small volumes of
liquids using positive pressure. These holders are used for filtering
particulate from a fluid or gas stream, or for concentrating the partic-
ulate onto a filter surface for further examination. Pop-Top Filter
Holders accommodate membrane filters such as polycarbonate,
PTFE, nylon, and cellulose ester-based media, as well as depth filters
such as glass fiber and fibrous polyester.
Pop-Top Filter Holders are easily connected together for serial filtra-
tion since the inlet is a female Luer slip fitting and the outlet is a male
Luer slip fitting. Prefilters (diameter 10 mm when used with a
membrane) may be used to extend membrane life.

Assembly and Loading

Step Action
1 Remove the three parts of the Pop-Top holder from its plastic
bag.
2 If using a prefilter, place it in the center hole depression of the
Pop-Top holder cap before loading the membrane.
3 Remove the membrane with its thick, colored separator paper
from the storage box with blunt tipped forceps. Slip one tong of
the forceps between the membrane and paper.
NOTICE
It is important to use blunt tipped
forceps to avoid damaging the
membrane.
4 Pick up the Pop-Top base in one hand and place the membrane
on the support grid right side up.
Note:
Generally, the membrane is packaged with the top side of the
filter facing up, and you should maintain this orientation when
assembling it into the filter holder.
5 For liquid filtration, wetting the membrane with clean filtration
liquid can make it easier to load.
6 Position the Pop-Top cap over the base and press down until it
snaps in place.
