The TILT bottle has two positions: upright for filter sterilization or storage, and tilted at 45° for pipetting. Take a look at cell culture media from a new angle and discover a bottle system that eases handling and turns usability into security. The GL 56 mouth accommodates even large volume pipettes (100 ml ) and helps avoid contamination. The compact bottle is easy to put through the gap under the sash, and is easier to use inside the hood. The clear markings show the volume in both tilted and upright positions and are visible from both sides, for the convenience of left and right-handed users. The bottle is vacuum resistant and may be safely used for the filter sterilization of media.
Thread Adaptor
The re-usable adaptor (GL 45 external / GL 56 internal) allows the use of the DURAN® TILT bottle with 45 mm filtation units for the filter steilisation of cell culture media. Manufactured from inert PTFE; can be autoclaved and depyrogenised at 30.
TILT Light Shield
The DURAN® TILT Light Shield is a white silicone sleeve that covers 94% of the bottle surface. The sleeve has a number of protective functions: it blocks damaging ultraviolet (UV) light, protects the glass surface from damage, and facilitates safer handling. Silicone provides a much better grip than glass; especially when the bottle has been sprayed with 70% alcohol for surface disinfection.
Bottle Tags
The Bottle Tags can be used on their own for colour identification or to secure the protective Light Shield around the bottle. The GL 56 Bottle Tags are available in four colours (orange, yellow, blue and purple).
Filter Funnels
Designed for sterilization or clarification of aqueous cell culture media. Supplied as a filter funnel only unit for use with the Duran TILT (with GL 45 thread adaptor) or 45 mm media bottles. Comes in three different asymmetric pore sizes (0.1 um, 0.2 um, 0.45 um). Raised molded graduation marks for easy volume reading. Manufactured in a clean room form non-cytotoxic materials. Supplied sterile.
Self-Adhesive Cap Labels
Careful labeling is very important to prevent mix-ups and mistakes. The GL 56 self-adhesive cap labels can be used to clearly indicate the separate bottles of media for each cell line, preventing possible cross-contamination.
