The Smart MCs Syringe Filter is a specialised laboratory device engineered to ensure the highest purity of critical solutions within the cultivated meat production workflow. Its primary function is the sterile filtration of cell culture media, nutrient supplements, and other aqueous solutions, effectively removing bacteria, particulates, and contaminants that could compromise cell viability and product safety. This essential step is fundamental to maintaining the aseptic conditions required for the successful scale-up of mammalian and fish cell lines, directly supporting the development of commercial-ready cultivated meat products.
Constructed from high-grade, biocompatible, and non-pyrogenic polymer materials, the filter housing and membrane are optimised for use with sensitive biological preparations. The Smart MCs Syringe Filter is compatible with the preparation of both serum-free and chemically defined media, ensuring its seamless integration into animal-origin-free and xeno-free protocols. This material composition and manufacturing rigour provide a reliable and consistent performance profile, a key differentiator for quality-critical applications.
Performance is validated by the availability of two precise pore sizes: 0.22 µm for sterilising filtration and 0.45 µm for general particle removal and clarification. These quantitative metrics ensure efficient and reliable processing of media volumes, a necessity for maintaining the health and proliferation of diverse cell types, including muscle, fat, and fibroblast lines used in cultivated meat research. The filter’s design is compatible with standard laboratory syringes, offering a simple, validated solution for preparing small to medium batches of media.
Available for Research Use Only, with the option for a Certificate of Analysis and GMP-compliant production upon request, the Smart MCs Syringe Filter offers a clear pathway for scalability. Its robust design supports the transition from small-scale R&D media preparation to larger pilot and commercial-scale system validation, providing a critical tool for quality control and regulatory compliance in the food-grade production environment.
