Microfil® S Filtration Devices

Description

Microfil S devices are pre-assembled and individually packaged to provide a fast and dependable alternative to conventional multi-step methods. These pre-sterilized devices combine a funnel, protective lid, and filtration support so routine microbiological testing is fast and easy. No membrane handling prior to filtering. No filter holders, funnels and attachments to assemble and sterilize. No sterilizing the filter support after each filtration.

• Sterile, individually packaged for convenience and reliability
  
• Protective lid reduces external contamination risk
  
• Pre-assembled to speed sampling and shorten preparation
  
• Easy-to-remove funnel and membrane reduces test time

Consistent Recoveries

Microfil S devices ensure uniform recovery of microorganisms in three ways.

• The funnel’s smooth, hydrophobic surface repels aqueous sample residues to ensure that microorganisms are collected on the membrane, not on the walls of the funnel.
  
• The convex shape of the support eliminates pleating and distortion of the membrane due to expansion, so contact between the membrane and the surface of the medium is uniform.
  
• Three membrane selections allow versatility for your specific application.

Conforms to International Standards

The Microfil S device complies with USP/EP guidelines. The device is supplied with a Certificate of Quality that demonstrates that the device has been quality control tested with Pharmacopoeia organisms.
