Why FluxMPS™

Engineered where standard media fails

Conventional 0.22 µm–filtered media passes mycoplasma, subvisible particulates, and endotoxin fragments that clog microfluidic channels and corrupt sensor signals. FluxMPS™ reduces these failure modes with four-stage sub-0.04 µm filtration.

Microchannel-safe purity

0.04 µm final filtration; USP <788> Method 1 (light obscuration) particulate compliance supports safe perfusion in microfluidic chip geometries.

Purity Architecture

Quadruple-stage filtration system

Four serial filtration stages — two paired prefilter/final-filter cycles — reaching a final 0.04 µm polish under aseptic fill conditions, delivering mycoplasma-retentive, sub-micron purity substantially beyond what conventional 0.22 µm filtered media can achieve.

  1. 1

    0.1 µm Prefiltration I

    Removes large aggregates and particulates; protects the first 0.04 µm cartridge.

  2. 2

    0.04 µm Final filtration I

    First 0.04 µm pass; retains sub-micron particulates and microaggregates that pass a 0.22 µm filter.

  3. 3

    0.1 µm Prefiltration II

    Second, dedicated prefilter protecting the second 0.04 µm cartridge.

  4. 4

    0.04 µm Final filtration II — Polish

    Ultimate polishing filter; aseptic fill & finish.

Sterility & Mycoplasma: No growth after 14-day incubation (USP <71>). Mycoplasma control is achieved via 0.1 µm mycoplasma-retentive filtration (not tested per lot); mycoplasma organisms are typically 0.2–0.3 µm in diameter.
Grade: This product is Microfluidics Suitable, filtered to a 0.04 µm final cut-off. It is not an MPS Grade product — that designation is reserved for the 0.01 µm ultra nano-filtered line, which adds 0.02 µm and 0.01 µm stages after the 0.04 µm polish. For applications requiring the 0.01 µm cut-off, contact support@diagnocine.com.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about FluxMPS™ DCP-12CHG-B1X.

Yes. DCP-12CHG-B1X is processed through a Quadruple-stage filtration system reaching a 0.04 µm final pore size, delivering ultra-low particulate levels suitable for MPS, OoC, tissue-on-a-chip (ToC), and lab-on-a-chip (LoC) platforms.
 
Sodium bicarbonate is removed so this High Glucose Coon's Modification can be used CO₂-independently with HEPES or another organic buffer for pH control. Contact support@diagnocine.com if you require a bicarbonate-buffered version instead.
No. This formulation is CO₂-independent; supplement with HEPES or another organic buffer to maintain pH outside a CO₂ incubator.
Yes. Add FBS (typically 5–10%), serum-free supplements, growth factors, antibiotics, or custom nutrients as required. Filter serum and protein-containing additions through a 0.2 µm low-protein-binding PES or PVDF membrane before addition; do not use a 0.04 µm membrane, which retains serum proteins and lipoproteins. Contact support@diagnocine.com for custom co-formulation.
Endotoxin is controlled per manufacturing batch by LAL assay (USP <85>); assay sensitivity is 0.005 EU/mL. Every batch must meet the release specification of < 0.05 EU/mL before release.
Yes. A full CoA per batch covers: appearance, pH (USP <791>), osmolality (USP <785>), sterility (USP <71>), endotoxin (USP <85>), mycoplasma control, particulate count (USP <788> Method 1), and raw-material traceability. Request at support@diagnocine.com.
