Open One Packet. Start Straining.
ReadyStrain brings a SureStrain cell strainer, 50 mL collection tube and separate screw cap together in one sterile packet. The strainer is pre-attached to the tube, reducing the number of packages and assembly steps at the bench.
Select 40, 70 or 100 µm mesh to suit your protocol. Easy-open tear-strip bags let you open a single kit directly in your controlled work area without exposing a bulk bag of tubes.

Choose the Format for Your Protocol
One unit ordered supplies 50 complete kits, not 50 separate strainers. Choose mesh size for your protocol. A sterile packet supports aseptic handling but does not eliminate contamination risk once opened.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is supplied in each kit?
Each sterile kit includes a SureStrain cell strainer pre-attached to a 50 mL tube, plus a separate screw cap for use after filtration.
Which pore sizes are offered?
C5040 is 40 µm blue, C5070 is 70 µm white and C5100 is 100 µm yellow.
How many kits are in one ordering unit?
One pack contains 50 individually wrapped complete kits. Inventory and pricing are per pack, not per single kit.
How are the kits sterilized?
MTC Bio states that ReadyStrain kits are gamma sterilized to a sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶. Maintain appropriate aseptic handling after opening.
What is the benefit of the single packet?
It reduces the need to open and assemble separate strainer, tube and cap packages. You can open one tear-strip packet rather than exposing a larger bag of tubes.
Is the screw cap attached during straining?
No. The strainer is pre-attached to the tube; the screw cap is separate and is used after filtration.
How does ReadyStrain compare with buying Falcon 352340 strainers?
Corning Falcon 352340 is a sterile 40 µm nylon cell strainer, individually packaged, 50 per case, designed to fit 50 mL Falcon conical tubes. ReadyStrain C5040 instead supplies 50 complete 40 µm kits with a tube and separate screw cap in each packet. These are different ordering configurations, not claims of identical performance or universal interchangeability.
Does the kit guarantee a single-cell preparation?
No. Select and validate mesh size, dissociation conditions and sample handling for your cells and downstream assay. A kit simplifies assembly, not biological validation.
