Create Your Unique Steritest System Configuration
Depending on the characteristics of your samples, select the right Steritest EZ membrane. Color-coded canisters indicate the chemical compatibility of the canister material, the drain design, and the type of membrane used for filtration–mixed esters of cellulose or Durapore (PVDF).

Depending on how the drug is packaged, select the right adapter. Single needle adapters allow easy access to ampoules or collapsible bags. A vented needle adapter vents and transfers test product from large volume containers with septa to Steritest EZ devices. A small diameter double needle adapter permits access to small vials with septa. A non-coring needle adapter with an aperture on the side minimizes blockage when piercing product containers. Male and female Luer fitting adapters allow connection to a variety of test devices.

Depending on the testing environment, select the right Steritest Equinox pump. The Steritest Equinox transfer pump is a software-controlled peristaltic pump used for the safe, uniform transfer of drug samples from various packaging formats through Millipore sterility testing devices. Two versions of the pump are available, the Steritest Equinox Pump for use in laminar flow hoods and the Steritest Equinox Isofit Pump for use in isolators.



Develop Your New Methodology Using Our Expertise
When you need to set up a sterility test method for a new product or improve an existing method for a product that demonstrates antimicrobial effects or filtration issues, our team of experts can develop a method that is compliant with applicable regulations. Our method development service can develop and optimize the entire method from sampling to reading the test results. Millipore provides validation protocols and services to reduce the time and cost needed to validate your sterility testing methodologies. Maintenance agreements are available to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your system.
Train Your Operators On-site or Off-site
Millipore instructors can come to your site to train and qualify your operators as recommended in the pharmacopeias. We can customize the training for your specific needs, including teaching in the local language.

In addition to on-site training, Millipore offers Steritest School, a one-and-a-half day course in select European cities that provides an in-depth review of the regulatory requirements of sterility testing, its validation,and practical implementation. An integral part of the course is an interactive workshop where participants view a demonstration of each of the critical steps in the sterility testing procedure and have an opportunity to ask questions related to their specific sterility testing application.
