How to Replace the Filter in the Low Profile Flask Cap

The TUNAIR low profile flask cap features a convenient Quick-Flip design, allowing for fast and easy filter replacement. Maintaining a clean and intact filter is essential for ensuring proper aeration and preventing contamination. To replace or clean the filter, press the latch tab on the flask cap upward to release it. Once the latch is released, the cap will hinge open, providing full access to the filter. Carefully remove the existing filter, checking for any visible signs of wear or contamination. Lay a new or sterilized filter flat inside the cap, then close the cap and snap the latch back into place, ensuring that the filter is properly sandwiched within the cap.

By regularly checking and replacing the filter, you can maintain the integrity and effectiveness of your flask cap, ensuring optimal airflow and contamination control.

Cleaning Instructions for TUNAIR Flask Caps and Flasks

Proper cleaning and maintenance of your TUNAIR flask cap assembly and flask are essential for extending their lifespan and ensuring optimal performance. Before use, prepare your media inside the flask, secure the flask cap and filter in place, and insert the flask and cap into the autoclave, setting it to a wet cycle. After cell harvesting, wash the TUNAIR flask using a mild dish soap, such as Dove Dish Soap, and rinse thoroughly with deionized (DI) water. Avoid rinsing the Dri-Gauze filter between uses, though the silicone filter can be rinsed with DI water if necessary. Regularly inspect filters for holes or tears and replace them as needed.

For general cleaning, soak flasks and caps in water mixed with a light detergent, such as Joy, to loosen contaminants. Allow them to air dry completely before reuse. If additional sterilization is required, autoclave the flask and cap before use. By following these cleaning procedures, you can maintain the integrity of your flask cap and flask assembly, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
