Microsart® Manifold
The ability to accurately detect and quantify microorganisms in liquid samples is of primary importance for any quality control laboratory. For this reason, membrane filtration is the preferred established method for liquid testing, as it provides reliable and reproducible results. Suitable and well-designed filtration equipment is just as important as high-quality membrane filters and reliable media plates.
Simplify your daily microbiological testing procedures with the new Microsart® Manifold: choose the manifold suitable for your individual microbiological testing procedure, select between reusable and single-use funnels or filtration units, decide between different manifold sizes, and benefit from a manifold that adapts to your needs.

Stainless Steel Filter Holders
Stainless steel holders differ in funnel capacities, available in 40 ml, 100 ml, or 500 ml options, and in valve types. Part numbers ending in CS feature sterile venting. They are specifically designed for applications in which particles or microorganisms must be retained on the surface of membrane filters. The stainless steel frit filter support ensures even distribution of retained particles across the entire surface of the membrane filter. Special features make these filter holders easy to use during routine testing. The stainless steel taps are easy to open and close, and the unique clamp can be operated with just one hand to securely fasten the funnel or remove it conveniently.
Glass Filter Holders
These filter holders are available with a 30 ml funnel for small-volume filtration, with a 25 mm filter diameter, or with a 250 ml funnel for large-volume filtration, with a 47|50 mm filter diameter. They can be sterilized by autoclaving, max. 134°C, or by dry heat, max. 180°C. The glass frit ensures even distribution of retained particles.
Polycarbonate Filter Holders
Type 16510 is complete with a receiver flask and can be used under vacuum or low pressure. For maximum efficiency, 0.5 bar|7.3 psi is recommended. Type 16511 is identical to 16510 but does not include a receiver flask. It is designed for use on a suction flask or a vacuum manifold, such as Combisart® systems. Both types can be sterilized by autoclaving, max. 121°C.
