Overview

The EZ-Fit™ Filtration Unit is a disposable filtration device for bioburden testing of liquid samples including water, in-process samples, and final products.

Description

Optimal microbial recovery
The EZ-Fit™ Filtration Units have been designed to ensure optimal microbial recovery. The sterilized, disposable filtration devices for bioburden testing streamline your workflow, save time and give you highly reliable microbial enumeration results.The blue and pink drain support and the funnel-to-base assembly have been optimized so that the membrane remains perfectly flat after the sample filtration. When transferred to the culture medium, the whole filtration surface of the membrane is in perfect contact with the culture media. The shape of the funnel and the hydrophobic material minimize sample residue ensuring that the complete sample volume reaches the membrane surface. The innovative funnel assembly design prevents any leaks or sample by-pass of the membrane, meaning that the whole sample volume is filtered. The EZ-Fit™ Filtration Units conform to international standards (EP/USP) and comply with water testing regulations.

Reliable results – every time
The protective rim allows safe membrane transfer with forceps, reducing the risk of touching the membrane filtration area, and the vented lid can be left on the device during filtration.

Flexibility
The EZ-Fit™ Filtration Unit cover a wide range of applications, offering a selection of membranes and the flexibility to use liquid or solid culture media.

Save precious time
The pink drain design reduces filtration time on difficult to filter samples. New packaging solutions allow a reduction of set up time.

In summary, the new EZ-Fit™ Filtration Units offer:

• – Drain support and optimized funnel-to-base assembly ensure optimal microbial recovery
  
• – Reduced risk of contaminating the membrane with forceps due to a protective rim
  
• – Visibility of the end of the filtration from any angle thanks to transparent funnel material
  
• – All around level volume indicators
  
• – Funnel handling with a single hand
  
• – Stackability, saving space in the work area
  
• – 250 ml funnels allow larger volume samples

Overview

EZ-Fit™ Manifold for universal laboratory filtration

• Unique design for easy cleaning and decontamination
  
• Different filtration heads for both reusable and disposable filtration devices
  
• Quick-fit connectors for the vacuum tubing
  
• Low height for ease of use in laminar flow hoods

Easy to prevent biofilms: The new EZ-Fit™ Manifold design eliminates sources of contamination that can cause false positive results: all internal areas are accessible and can be cleaned efficiently and all components can be autoclaved.

Each component can be removed quickly and easily without any additional tools. A check valve is integrated into the tubing connection to prevent liquid back-flow from the vacuum system. The 2-way valve prevents the user from accidentally touching the filtration head while opening or closing it.

Ease of use

• – A low height design increases comfort, especially when used in laminar flow hoods
  
• – The tubing to the vacuum source can be connected to either side of the manifold
  
• – The total weight is only 2.9 kg for a 3-place manifold! But nonetheless the stability of the manifold on non-flat working areas is ensured by a unique system
  
• – The valves are large and easy to operate

• – EZ-Pak® Dispenser Curve
  
• – High-speed sterile membrane dispensing
  
• – No-touch operation
  
• – One-handed membrane transfer

Description

• – Robust components selected for durability and high-throughput dispensing.
  
• – No touch detection: Move your hand toward the sensor – no touch necessary – and a membrane is unwrapped, dispensed and consistently well positioned for transfer with forceps. Software controls prevent the accidental dispensing of multiple membranes.
  
• – Easy decontamination: The smooth shape facilitates cleaning. The plastic material is compatible with a large range of disinfection agents. Membrane is automatically positioned for easy transfer with forceps.
  
• – Easy membrane loading: New design with cover allows you to load a cartridge in less than 30 seconds.
  
• – Lightweight and portable: It can be easily moved between lab benches.
  
• – Industrial infrared sensor: No need to press a lever, the durable motor will dispense one membrane in less than one second.
  
• – Cableless: The dispenser can work with or without connection to a power outlet. When the Lithium ion battery is fully charged up to 10,000 membranes can be dispensed. After 10 minutes idle time, a standby mode is activated to save energy.

EZ-Pak® Membranes for use with EZ-Pak® Dispenser Curve

• – High throughput: Each cartridge contains 150 membranes. Less frequent reloading saves time.
  
• – Visible traceability: The membrane catalog number, lot number, pore size and sequential number (from 150 to 1) are printed on the protective film of every membrane cell.
  
• – Wide variety of membranes covering many applications: Pore sizes from 0,2µm to 0,8µm, diameters of 47mm and 50mm, and white, black and green membrane.
  
• – Detailed Certificate of Quality: Pore size, flow rate, extractables, retention, recovery and sterility are tested and listed on the Certificate Of Quality.

Assured Convenience and Sterility

The new EZ-Pak® Dispenser Curve revolutionizes filter handling for MF method testing by combining the benefits of high-speed sterile membrane dispensing, no-touch operation and one-handed membrane transfer.

Clear advantages of the EZ-Pak® Dispenser Curve include fast and easy membrane loading, robustness and the ability to operate with or without the power cable.

For the ultimate in convenience and efficiency, combine the EZ-Pak® system with the Microfil® filtration system. The Microfil® system includes ready-to-use, sterile filtration funnels and a unique filtration support to facilitate sample processing. No preparation steps are required.
