Rapid Clear Cap

The Rapid Clear Cap is Thomson's patented Optimum Growth ™ piston design. This should facilitate good mixing and high gas exchange rates to produce high density yields of viable cells. Thomson Instrument Company has used its expertise in filtration to develop the Rapid Clear® Cap 3000 to speed up the clarification process. This innovation reduces operating costs by minimizing the number of consumables used. Using Rapid Clear® Cap 3000 is quick and easy. When mammalian or insect cell culture is ready for clarification, simply remove the vent cap and replace it with the Rapid Clear® Cap 3000.

Advantages of Rapid Clear

• Save time, clarify 3L of cell culture in less than 35 minutes - no centrifugation required
• Reduce consumables used by up to 90%
• Minimizes endotoxin exposure

Main functions

• 0.2μm filter, eliminates multiple filtration steps and in some cases centrifugation
• Significant time savings compared to traditional spin down technology
• Cell explanation of low or high density cultures of CHO stable, CHO transient, HEK293, hybridoma and other mammalian cell lines
• Eliminates unnecessary steps: Rapid Clear® Cap screws are placed directly on the Optimum Growth ™ piston
• The secondary cap attaches to a new Optimum Growth ™ flask or to a storage container with a Luer lock
