GE Healthcare MBS I Polypropylene Funnel, 350 ml

Microbiological filtration system: MBS I is an excellent system for optimal microbiological control using membranes. The overall procedure time is reduced to a minimum. The design of the system, which consists of an electrical membrane dispenser, a funnel dispenser, and a vacuum manifold, leads to more reproducible results. The special sealing technique ensures easy handling and high integrity of the funnel and membrane during filtration. This keeps any cross-contamination to a minimum. The combination of the funnel dispenser and the membrane-butler E in the MBS I system is constructed so that when a funnel is taken from the dispenser, the butler automatically dispenses a membrane from the sterile pack, ready to use. The autoclavable plastic funnel for the MBS I is a true innovation. The new funnel does not require tedious flaming of stainless steel filtration equipment for sterilization. It is simple to use and ensures sterility. Funnels are provided sterile in a magazine and save time especially when a large number of samples need to be processed by one apparatus. The funnels (350 ml) are of high-grade polypropylene and can be autoclaved up to 50 times. For applications in which funnels are only used once, the system offers another solution: a 100 ml funnel that is presterilized and supplied ready for immediate use. A special closure mechanism at the extraction edge ensures that the funnel seals tightly with the membrane. Whatman MicroPlus membrane filters from GE Healthcare are an excellent addition to the MBS I for the beverage industry. Wherever viscous or particle loaded solutions are being filtered, MicroPlus filters with their stability and non-blocking design are a good choice. Filtration speed due to optimized flow through, ease of use, and high reproducibility contribute to the unmatched quality of MicroPlus.
