During homogenizing (stomaching), liquid and bacteria pass through the filter while food particles and other solids stay on the sample side. You can then pipette a clean aliquot from the filtrate side without blocking the pipette tip. The bags are sterile, single-use and have a tough PET outer layer that resists punctures from bones, shells and other sharp material in the blender. You can choose bags with or without a MixWire closure for sealing the bag after blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page covers ten Filtra Bags in three styles. \u003cstrong\u003eMixWire closure\u003c\/strong\u003e bags (1 round + 1 flat wire) come in 3.8 × 8, 6 × 9, 7.5 × 12, 10 × 15 and 15 × 20 in. \u003cstrong\u003eTear-off strip\u003c\/strong\u003e bags without a closure come in 6 × 9, 7.5 × 12, 10 × 15 and 15 × 20 in.
