Microbiological Monitors are designed specifically for membrane filtration methods used in identifying microorganisms in aqueous samples up to 100 ml.
FEATURES
- Sterile, disposable unit eliminates preparation time spent on cleaning and autoclaving
- All in one assembly combines filtration unit and petri dish and helps to minimize contamination
- Preloaded membrane and pad eliminates transfer step and manual manipulation of the membrane
- Built-in magnification lid for colony count
- Reliable, reproducible results unit-to-unit and lot-to-lot
APPLICATIONS
Microbiological analysis of:
Wastewater
Potable water
Beer and wine
Oils, extracts and broths
Dairy products, juices and soft drinks
Pharmaceuticals
Cosmetics
EPA Update issued February 2013:* Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Revision to the Total Coliform Rule “Disposable membrane filtration equipment that is pre-sterilized by the manufacturer (i.e. disposable funnel units) may be used.”
Technical Specifications
| Membrane Material | Pore Size (µm) | Diameter (mm) | Membrane Color | Grid Color | Welded to Cup | Filtration Unit Material | Sterilization |
| MCE | 0.2 or 0.45 | 47 | Whilte | Black | No | Polyprepylene | Gamma Irradiation |
0.2 μm white membrane are recommended pore size for testing such strains as Rickettsia prowaseki, Brevundimonas diminuta, Pseudomonas diminuta, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Lagionella pnaumophila.
0.45 μm white membranes are tested for Coliforms, Fecal Streptococci Staphylococcus aureus and Serratia marcescens.
