Clarify and Concentrate in a Single Step
CPT™-Attached Matrix Prefilters attach directly to compatible CP Select™ Concentration Tips, enabling clarification and concentration to occur simultaneously during sample processing.
By reducing larger particles, debris, aggregates, and matrix-associated material before they reach the hollow fiber concentration membrane, matrix prefilters can improve flow performance, reduce premature tip fouling, and expand the range of samples that can be processed using CP Select™ workflows.
Available pore sizes include 1 µm, 8 µm, 25 µm, and 75 µm.
Why Use a CPT-Attached Matrix Prefilter?
- Clarify and concentrate in a single processing step
- Reduce larger particles and debris before concentration
- Improve flow performance in challenging matrices
- Reduce premature Concentration Tip fouling
- Extend processing capability for complex samples
- Eliminate separate clarification steps for many workflows

Typical Uses
|
|
1 µm
|
Fine clarification of highly turbid samples, wastewater, environmental samples, and challenging biological matrices
|
|
8 µm
|
Removal of large cells, aggregates, and debris while allowing smaller microorganisms and particles to pass
|
|
25 µm
|
Reduction of larger suspended solids, food particles, sediment, and process-related debris
|
|
75 µm
|
Coarse clarification of samples containing visible debris, fibers, plant material, insects, hair, or large particulates
|
Important Note
CPT-Attached Matrix Prefilters are designed to manage matrix-associated material, not capture the target of interest. The downstream Concentration Tip performs the primary concentration step. Selection of the appropriate prefilter should consider both the sample matrix and the intended target population.
