Rapid Clear® Cap is Thomson’s patented Optimum Growth™ flask design, engineered to promote optimal mixing and high gas exchange rates for high-density yields of viable cells. Thomson Instrument Company applied its filtration expertise to develop the Rapid Clear® Cap 3000, accelerating the clarification process. This innovation reduces operating costs by minimizing the number of consumables required. Using the Rapid Clear® Cap 3000 is fast and simple—when mammalian or insect cell cultures are ready for clarification, just remove the vented cap and replace it with the Rapid Clear® Cap 3000.

Benefits of Rapid Clear

• Save time: clarify 3L of cell culture in under 35 minutes without centrifugation
• Reduce consumables used by up to 90%
• Minimize endotoxin exposure

Key Features

• 0.2 μm filter eliminates multiple filtration steps, and in some cases, centrifugation
• Significant time savings compared to traditional spin-down techniques
• Suitable for clarifying cultures of both low and high density, including CHO-stable, CHO-transient, HEK293, hybridomas, and other mammalian cell lines
• Eliminates unnecessary steps: Rapid Clear® Cap screws directly onto the Optimum Growth™ flask
• Secondary cap connects to a new Optimum Growth™ flask or storage container with a Luer lock
