Cell sieve with a 10 µm pore size nylon mesh used to pre-filter samples to remove larger particles.
When to use a cell sieve
Use one when your sample carries a lot of large particles. They may clog the external filter on BactoBox®, and in some cases the flow cell, so pre-filter the sample before you measure. Stool, sludge and particle-heavy slurries are the usual cases.
Contact SBT if you are unsure whether your sample needs one. See Remove large particles for the procedure.
