Rapid Clear® Cap is designed for fast and efficient clarification of cell culture directly from Thomson Optimum Growth™ shake flasks. The solution enables cell culture clarification without the need for centrifugation in many cases, helping simplify and streamline the workflow.

Rapid Clear® Cap 3000 is used by replacing the vent cap on the Optimum Growth™ flask once the mammalian or insect cell culture is ready for clarification. The system is quick and easy to use and is designed to reduce filtration steps and minimize the number of consumables required.
