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.
Conduct Your Testing with Confidence
We test and certify each lot of product to match your internal requirements. All certificates include specifications and reference to regulatory requirements. For your safety, 100% of our Steritest EZ canisters are checked for integrity.

The Steritest Equinox pump optimizes the reliability of the testing process. Designed for use with Steritest EZ devices, the automatic pump head makes it easy to load and unload tubing. In addition, you can transfer Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) onto the pump from a computer. In the unique SOP mode, the pump guides the operator through each step of the procedure to ensure the reproducibility of the validated method.

Millipore’s wide selection of sterility test media and USP rinse buffers ensure accurate sterility testing. Our new controlled manufacturing environment improves the reliability of your test results.



Meet Your Validation Requirements
We offer a complete range of services because we understand that validation is key for your industry. Millipore’s experienced scientists can help reduce the time and cost to validate your sterility testing methodologies. Millipore provides validation protocols and expendables needed for validation as well as rental equipment (rentals in Europe only). Millipore’s validation protocols will enable you to initiate your Master Plan quickly and perform Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) with ease. If you need additional support, Millipore experts can perform on-site validation, ensuring all test criteria lead to a completely qualified and accurate test method. 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.
