Biosart Monitor
Biosart® 100 Monitors are specifically designed for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms potentially present in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, beverages, water, and other liquids. Thanks to the integrated membrane filter and cellulose pad, the monitors are ready-to-use sterile funnels. After filtration, simply remove the 100 ml funnel to convert the monitor into a Petri dish, eliminating the need for membrane manipulation.

The main application area of Biosart® 100 Monitors is the microbiological analysis of relatively large sample volumes containing low levels of microorganisms, where membrane filtration is an essential step. In addition, Biosart® 100 Monitors are also suitable for testing smaller volumes by placing the sample in a few ml of sterile physiological NaCl solution.
Biosart® 100 Monitors are specifically designed for microbiological testing of pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, water, and other liquids. These sterile single-use products with an integrated membrane filter and cellulose pad are ready to use. After filtration, simply remove the 100 ml funnel to convert the monitor into a Petri dish. Culture media for wetting the pad are available in convenient, individually sterilized plastic ampoules.
Biosart® 100 Monitors are ready-to-use filter units designed to be placed on the bases of a vacuum manifold. Biosart® 100 Monitors enable the identification of all colonies. The monitors are available in several different types: monitors with cellulose nitrate membrane filters, also known as cellulose ester membranes, made from a material that ensures effective retention with high flow rates and optimal colony growth. Printed grid lines make counting easier, especially for higher bacterial counts and microcolonies, without affecting growth. Three different filter colors — green, white, and gray, which turns black after wetting — provide the best contrast with colonies.
Monitors with regenerated cellulose membranes, a material that combines high flow rates with high chemical stability, are ideal for bioburden testing in the veterinary sector, where many products are solvent-based.
