support of the filter membrane enables users to filter aqueous solutions in either direction,
forward (from the syringe into the container) or backward (from the container into the sy-
ringe). The Millex-GP filter unit removes microorganisms, particles, precipitates, and undis-
solved powders larger than 0.22 micron (µm). Typical research laboratory applications in-
clude the sterile filtration of protein solutions, tissue culture media, additives, buffers, and
water. These single-use filter units consist of a membrane filter sealed in an acrylic housing.
They are non-pyrogenic and non-toxic.

PLEASE NOTE:
Outside of the U.S. and Japan, Millex-GP filter units (Cat Nos. SLGP 033 RS and SLGP 033
RB) may also be used for direct patient care and pharmacy admixture applications. In the
hospital pharmacy, Millex-GP filter units can be used to sterile filter small volumes of protein
pharmaceuticals, diagnostic imaging agents, chemotherapeutics, aqueous solutions, or water
during admixture preparation. Direct patient care applications include sterilization and par-
ticulate removal from epidural and other liquid anesthetics as well as from irrigation solu-
tions used in ophthalmic, otic, and other surgical procedures.
Within the U.S. and Japan, the approved Millex-GP filter unit for direct patient care and
pharmacy admixture applications is Cat. No. SLGP M33 RS.
