Microsart® @media
Microsart® @media are sterile-packaged, ready-to-use containers pre-filled with different types of agar media. Together with Microsart® @filter units, they offer a completely new agar and membrane transfer concept for microbial limits testing. The innovative active lid of Microsart® @media enables contact-free membrane transfer from the Microsart® @filter base, thereby reducing the risk of secondary contamination to an absolute minimum.

Microorganisms in liquids are quantified using the membrane filtration method. The advantage of this method is that it enables accurate detection of bacteria, yeasts, and molds when low counts are expected in high sample volumes. Transferring a membrane filter to an agar medium is a critical step that can be a source of secondary contamination, especially when forceps are used. Therefore, reducing this risk is important.
The Microsart® @media product range is excellent at minimizing the risk of secondary contamination, as contact-free membrane transfer eliminates membrane manipulation. In addition, these products speed up your workflow, since only a few labor-saving steps are required to use them. Microsart® @media products impressively meet the strictest quality assurance standards, providing consistently reliable results and time-saving convenience.
As a result of combined development, the active lid of @media fits perfectly onto the Microsart® @filter base, allowing a membrane filter to be transferred easily and reliably to an agar medium.
In addition, the removable inner lid provides easy access to selected colonies after incubation for further analysis.
Main Benefits of Microsart® @media
Easy to Use
Fits perfectly onto the Microsart® @filter base, allowing easy and reliable transfer of a membrane filter to the agar medium. No force is required to separate the funnel from the base.
Safe and Reliable
Contact-free membrane transfer eliminates manipulation by minimizing major sources of secondary contamination. This results in optimal growth conditions for reliable results.
Time Saving
The innovative click-lock closure allows the funnel to be removed quickly and easily after filtration.
