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.
Total metabolic control
Selective inclusion/exclusion of glutamine, pyruvate, bicarbonate, and HEPES for precise nutrient and buffer definition.
Ultrapure-grade water
Ultrapure Type 1 water (18.2 MΩ·cm) with controlled trace-metal and total organic carbon (TOC) content minimizes feed-water contribution to sensitive assays.
Low background for imaging
Ultra-low particulate baseline supports confocal microscopy and biosensor-based assays. This formulation contains phenol red; a phenol-red-free variant is available on request for fluorescence-sensitive applications.
Rich, stable nutrient profile
49 ingredients verified per lot; micro-batch production with full traceability.
Customization on demand
pH, glucose, salts, HEPES, and nutrients adjustable per your protocol. Contact support@diagnocine.com.
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.
