The filter element suction is a common consumable in the laboratory. It adopts the filter element structure to ensure the safety of the operator and the sample while extending the service life of the pipette. This article will introduce the function of filter element suction head, why to use filter element suction head? And the importance of filter suction in detecting virus.

The filter element suction head is an upgraded version of the ordinary suction head, which adds a filter element at the top of the suction head. The filter element is made of polypropylene and has an optimized aperture to ensure the barrier effect while having good ventilation. The role of filter element suction head is mainly reflected in three aspects:

Ensure the safety of experimental personnel: the filter cartridge suction head can reduce the spread of harmful products and ensure the personal safety of operators to the greatest extent.

Guarantee sample safety: no heat source, no DRNase, DNase, no PCR inhibitor, to prevent cross contamination, to ensure the accuracy and purity of the sample.

Ensure the use of pipette safety: filter element suction head to avoid liquid into the pipette chamber, prevent the pipette from being damaged by the sample, maintain the precision and accuracy of the sample, extend the service life of the pipette.
