The DURAN Phoenix bottle is the direct replacement of the AMSCO bottle that is widely used by the gnotobiology community for decades up to it’s discontinuation. Once sold together, the STERIS cap is now available separately. The STERIS cap is perfect for autoclaving of the bottles, providing peace of mind for your gnotobiotic research.

Retrace codes are a new feature of the bottle. Additionally, DURAN have changed how they package the bottles so that they are now available in single units as apposed to a bulk of 10.

The Filter Media is a high quality DW4 Filter material to use for sterilising Cylinder/ autoclave drums or air inlets for some types of Isolators. The filter media ensures that equipment after steam sterilisation stays sterile. Furthermore, the low dust emissions of this filter material makes it especially easy to use. Easy to cut to size for various applications.

While this product comes in a standard size, please talk to our team should you have any further questions.

Drum caps are a fantastic alternative to mylar film and a reusable option. They are simple to use and easy to fit. Simple seal them off using our stainless steel clamps. Additionally, we make the caps from silicon or Viton and so are easy to clean and reusable for years to come.

Advantages of the drum caps compared to mylar film are:

• a reduced time spent on closing the drum
• The drum can be re-sealed after import into the isolator to allow movement of Items to another isolator or decontaminated after export.

This is why we take great care over the gloves that we supply with our isolators. We work alongside Ansell, whose vast selection of chemical gloves means that we have a wide variety to choose from.

Additionally, we have access to a plethora of sizes and materials should the need arise. We do the work in finding the best gloves for you and your research, so you don’t have to.
