FAQ for Microbial Filtration Systems
1: What is a microbial filtration system used for?
Microbial Filtration Systems is used for detecting and enumerating microorganisms in liquid samples by filtering through sterile membranes. It ensures sterile conditions and is essential in pharmaceutical and water testing laboratories.
2: Can the Microbial Filtration Systems be sterilized for reuse?
Yes, most microbial filtration systems come with components like stainless steel manifolds and pump heads that can withstand autoclaving (up to 121°C) or flame sterilization for reuse.
3: What are the key components of a microbial filtration system?
A typical system includes a filtration manifold, vacuum source or pump, sterile filter holders or cups, tubing, and drainage setup. Some advanced models may also feature a touch screen, timer, and SIP disinfection functions.
4: Are the microbial filtration systems compatible with oil-free vacuum pumps?
Yes, microbial filtration systems are commonly paired with oil-free vacuum pumps to ensure clean suction and prevent contamination during operation.
5: Are there microbial filtration systems with digital or automatic controls?
Absolutely. Advanced models of microbial filtration systems features color touch screens, SIP disinfection functions, automatic timing, audit tracking, and optional printing, enhancing accuracy and traceability.
