Description
General description
The EZ-FIT® filtration unit is a single-use filtration device made of white, gridded, and mixed cellulose esters (MCE) membrane with a blue base integrating a cellulose support pad. It provides a safe and fast way of performing membrane filtration by avoiding the exposure to the risks of microbiological analysis.
The filtration units are e-beam irrated, a vented lid covers the sample throughout filtration, and a 360° rim prevents forceps from accidentally touching the membrane filtration area during membrane transfer, to protect samples from contamination while ensuring reliable microbial enumeration results.
The EZ-FIT® Azure feature makes the EZ-FIT® filtration unit even more ergonomic and convenient with transparent funnel and all-around filling level indicators for an easy filling from any angle. The innovative funnel assembly design prevents any leaks or sample by-pass of the membrane.
The blue units provide the extra flexibility of either transferring the membrane to an agar plate or converting the device into a Petri dish by adding the liquid media, after filtration.
The filtration units conform to international standards and minimize sample residue. The units can be stacked to save the work area. This disposable device is designed to fit onto the EZ-FIT® Manifold, which features specific EZ-FIT® Filtration heads.
Application
The EZ-Fit® Filtration funnel is used in bioburden testing of liquid samples such as water, process samples, or final products.It is designed for optimizing the lab workflow and for providing rapid and reliable microbiological results.
Features and Benefits
The transparent funnel allows you to see when filtration is complete from any angle
Thanks to all-around filling level indicators there is no need to turn the funnel when placing it on the filtration support
The shape of the membrane base makes transferring the membrane with the forceps easy
The unit’s design allows the funnel to be removed with one hand
The units are stackable, saving space in the work area
It comes with an absorbent pad and a plug for better efficiency
