Particle Separation: Pluriselect’s All-Star-Strainer-Team

PluriSelect developed a family of mesh-based sample preparation devices for selection, separation, and isolation of particles from suspensions. These products expand the use of common mesh tools (cell strainers) as one-stop solution to cell or particles separation.

PluriStrainer, MiniStrainer, SyringeStrainer, Überstrainer and Re-Strainer are sterile sample preparation devices to separate, isolate, concentrate and process particles out of complex and/or diluted suspensions.  An airtight screw cap with a Luer Lock port makes it possible to filtrate an unlimited amount of liquid. The strainers have up to 19 color coded mesh sizes in the range from 1 µm to 1000 µm. It can fit into tubes of 1.5 ml, 2 ml, 15 ml and 50 ml as well as 20 mm tissue culture plate. It also creates a treatment compartment on top of mesh for easy handling of the sample (illustrations of the product).

What applications can be offered?

The enormous variety of mesh-sizes and strainer designs
offers solution for many separation problems for particle separation.

Sample volumes between 50 ul and many liters
Single cell preparation for FACS analysis
Separation of spheroids and organoids
Target cell separation in combination with pluriBeads
Minimize artefacts in RNA expression analysis
Particle and cell separation in life sciences (parasitology, oceanography, agriculture, ecology…)
Cascade filtration
Particle sorting for technical application

As All-Star-Strainer-Team is a one-stop solution to cell or particle separation. The all-in-one functionality of the product makes research in above fields time- and cost-efficient.
