Engineered where standard SSC buffers fail
Conventional 0.22 µm-filtered SSC buffers can carry residual particulates, adventitious nucleases, and microbial bioburden into RNA hybridization, blotting, and sample-handling workflows. FluxMPS™ UltraClean PVSA-SSC, 1X is built to remove these failure points at the source.
Microchannel-safe purity
Quadruple-stage filtration (0.1 µm x2, 0.04 µm x2) reduces particulates that can foul microfluidic channels, membranes, and blot supports.
Precise, stable pH
Formulated at pH 7.0 with defined 1X SSC ionic strength (150 mM sodium chloride, 15 mM sodium citrate) for consistent hybridization and stringency-wash behavior.
Ultrapure-grade water
Formulated with ultrapure, nuclease-free water to minimize adventitious RNase and DNase carry-over.
Low background for hybridization & imaging
RNase-safe, particulate-controlled formulation helps limit background signal in probe-based hybridization and blotting assays.
Defined, traceable composition
Sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and PVSA are formulated to stated concentrations and QC-released for appearance and pH.
Customization on demand
Alternate concentrations, pH, and additional chemicals, compounds, proteins, or supplements are available on request.
Quadruple-stage filtration system
UltraClean PVSA-SSC, 1X is filtered through a 0.1 µm membrane twice and a 0.04 µm membrane twice, targeting fine particulates, microbial bioburden, and adventitious nucleases before final fill.
-
1
0.1 µm Pre-filtration I
First 0.1 µm membrane pass removes large particulates and aggregates, extending the life of downstream filters.
-
2
0.04 µm Pre-filtration II
First 0.04 µm membrane pass retains fine particulates and reduces bioburden ahead of sterile filtration.
-
3
0.1 µm Sterile-filtration I
Second 0.1 µm membrane pass provides redundant particulate and microbial control.
-
4
0.04 µm Sterile-filtration II — Final Polish
Second 0.04 µm membrane pass delivers the final polish prior to aseptic fill.
Performance vs. conventional buffer
Sequential 0.1 µm and 0.04 µm filtration, each applied twice, targets particulates and adventitious nucleases beyond what a single 0.22 µm pass typically captures, supporting RNase-safe handling of RNA-containing samples.
