Sample Preparation with FILTER SAMPLER® Blood Serum Filters

The accuracy of test results hinges upon the integrity of the sample. At Porex, we specialize in developing advanced clinical science solutions that excel in multi-functional sample preparation. Through a fusion of innovative manufacturing processes and proprietary technologies, our products are engineered to deliver exceptional performance, sterility, accuracy, and reproducibility in IVD, molecular, and diagnostic applications.

FILTER SAMPLER® Blood Serum Filters provide a comprehensive sample system that optimizes your laboratory workflow. Designed to reduce instrument downtime, these filters retain the separation of serum or plasma from centrifuged blood specimens while eliminating gel separation particulates and fibrin. With our advanced serum filters, you can directly access the sample without the need for secondary container pour-off, ensuring efficient and accurate analysis.

Pre-Analytic Serum Filters

Standard Model Blood Serum Filtration

Our Standard Model serum filters are specifically designed for situations where the filtered serum or plasma can be easily poured off for analysis. Compatible with glass collection tubes, these filters streamline the sample preparation process and enhance the reliability of your results. Benefit from the convenience and precision of our Standard Model serum filters for consistent serum filtration.

Instrument-Specific Model Serum Filters

Simplify your laboratory workflow with our Instrument Specific Model serum filters. These filters allow for direct sampling from primary collection tubes, eliminating the need for specimen relabeling and additional sample cups or tubes. Compatible with both glass and plastic collection tubes, our Instrument Specific Model ensures seamless sampling and reduces the risk of handling errors, saving time and improving efficiency in your sample analysis.

IB Model Blood Serum Filters


The IB Model Serum Filter is a specialized solution designed to maintain the integrity of blood specimens during storage and analysis. It offers advanced features to prevent ionic contamination, pH changes, and backflow, ensuring accurate and reliable test results. Compatible with both glass and plastic collection tubes, this filter provides enhanced specimen protection and preservation.

  • Prevents ionic contamination and pH changes
  • Contains a leak-resistant one-way valve for capped specimen storage
  • Ensures a physical gap between serum/plasma and clot to prevent backflow

FILTER SAMPLER® Dispense Filter System

The FILTER SAMPLER® Dispense Filter System: a convenient closed filtration solution for efficient sample handling and storage.

  • Three-in-one closed filtration system for efficient sample handling
  • Effective specimen closure and protection against contamination
  • Eliminates the use of transfer pipettes, add-on products, and closures

FILTER SAMPLER® Dispense+ Filter System

The FILTER SAMPLER® Dispense+ Filter System is a one-step, self-contained solution designed for specifically for 13 mm plastic collection tubes.

  • All-in-one system: Combines filtration, dispensing, and storage functionalities in a single device.
  • Designed for 13 mm plastic collection tubes: Ensures compatibility and ease of use.
  • Eliminates the need for disposable pipettes and capping materials: Reduces waste and simplifies the sample preparation process.
