Pall MicroFunnel Filter Funnel w/ ME25 Membrane, 0.45um, 100mL, Gridded - 200/Pk - 4804ME
Pall's engineering and quality infrastructure extends from the process-scale filtration systems it supports worldwide to its laboratory membrane filtration devices. Filter funnels seat a membrane disc across the base of the funnel so a full sample passes through in one contained step. Hydrophilic cellulose ester wets aqueous water and beverage samples on contact while sustaining consistent pore sizing across the disc and captures microorganisms on its surface for direct colony counting. For the analyst, a consistent membrane seat turns each sample into a countable, weighable, reviewable result.
Key Characteristics
- Gridded membrane formats guide accurate colony counting and orientation
- Hydrophilic surface wets aqueous water and beverage samples without pre-wetting
- Supplied sterile for immediate aseptic microbiological testing
- Mixed cellulose ester retains microorganisms on the surface for colony counting
- Low-extractable cellulose matrix suits standard microbiological methods
Accurate microbial counts depend on concentrating the whole sample onto one clean membrane surface. Membrane filtration of your full sample volume concentrates the organisms you need to detect onto a single surface so the low-level contamination in your samples is concentrated for recovery and counting.
