Why FluxMPS™

Engineered where standard media fails

Conventional 0.22 µm–filtered media can pass mycoplasma, subvisible particulates, and aggregates that foul microfluidic channels and confound on-chip assays. FluxMPS™ addresses these failure modes through a 0.04 µm final-polish architecture and a fully defined, traceable formulation.

Purity Architecture

Quadruple-stage filtration system

Four serial filtration stages culminate in a 0.04 µm final polish under aseptic fill & finish — delivering a ready-to-use medium at a purity level beyond conventional 0.22 µm filtration.

  1. 1

    0.1 µm Pre-filtration I — Large Particulate Removal

    Removes large aggregates and debris; protects downstream 0.04 µm membranes and extends their service life.

  2. 2

    0.04 µm Pre-filtration II — Mycoplasma Barrier

    Retains mycoplasma (0.1–0.3 µm) — not achievable with standard 0.22 µm filtration. First sub-mycoplasma polishing stage.

  3. 3

    0.1 µm Sterile-filtration I — Second-pass Redundancy

    Second-pass sterility redundancy; ensures no breakthrough from Stage 1. Independent sterility assurance.

  4. 4

    0.04 µm Sterile-filtration II — Final Polish

    Ultimate sub-mycoplasma polish followed by aseptic fill & finish. Final product QC release gate.

Performance vs. conventional media

FluxMPS™ DCP-RPMIGH-QPBR1X reaches a 0.04 µm final pore size across four sequential filtration passes — well below the 0.22 µm cut-off of conventional media, with a confirmed mycoplasma barrier at the sub-micron stages.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about FluxMPS™ DCP-RPMIGH-QPBR1X and its use in OoC and MPS applications.

Yes. DCP-RPMIGH-QPBR1X is engineered for MPS and OoC platforms. The 0.04 µm final filtration removes subvisible particulates that foul microfluidic channels, making it well suited to OoC, ToC, BoC, and LoC applications.
FluxMPS uses a Quadruple-stage system (0.1 µm ×2 + 0.04 µm ×2). The 0.04 µm final pore size provides a mycoplasma-retentive barrier and removes subvisible particulates that a single 0.22 µm pass cannot.
This formulation is built for metabolic control and open/perfusion workflows. Add L-Glutamine (or a stable dipeptide) fresh to your working concentration; supply pyruvate if your cell line requires it. The medium is bicarbonate-free and HEPES-buffered, and phenol-red-free to avoid optical interference in imaging and estrogenic activity in sensitive assays.
The formulation is bicarbonate-free and buffered with 25 mM HEPES, giving reduced CO₂ dependence. It is suited to open microfluidic and perfusion setups; validate the optimal CO₂ level and pH for your specific cell line and platform.
Yes. This is a basal medium. Supplement with FBS, serum replacements (e.g., B27, N2), L-Glutamine, growth factors, or other additives as required by your cell type and experimental protocol.
The endotoxin specification is NMT 5 EU/mL, verified by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET) per USP <85> on every production lot.
Yes. A CoA is available per lot upon request at support@diagnocine.com. It includes pH, endotoxin, sterility, mycoplasma, appearance, and full raw-material lot traceability.
