Sentino® Microbiology Pump

Pall® Sentino® Magnetic Filter Funnels

• Designed for Use with the New Sentino Microbiology Pump
• Variety of sizes - Available in 150, 300, and 500 mL. Convenient 150 mL size easily fits into small autoclaves; 500 mL size is ideal for large sample filtration.
• Easy to use - No-leak magnetic seal allows one-handed operation.
• Safe to use - Sturdy, polyphenylsulfone plastic construction is shatterproof and offers broad range of chemical compatibility.
• Simple placement - Membrane guides help center filter on platform.
• Quick point of entry - Forceps access point allows easy filter retrieval.
• Accurate - Graduated at 50 mL increments for precise sample measurement.

Pall® Sentino® Membrane Dispenser

• Simple design, reliable dispense
• Easy to load — Simple loading and unloading of refill pack at any point during use.
• No jamming — Guide plates assist loading and keep refill web in alignment during use to avoid jamming of the instrument.
• Soft touch keypad — Aseptically dispense a disc of membrane at the touch of a button.
• Designed to hold 200 membrane discs — Saves time by eliminating interruptions to reload dispenser.
• Compact design — Small footprint frees valuable bench top space and provides flexibility in arranging workspace for optimal efficiency and workflow.
• Miniaturized refill pack — Sized to minimize storage space resulting in less packaging material waste.
• Portable — Use plugged into main power source or charge battery for use anywhere. Indicator lights let you know when the battery charge is running low.
• Easy to clean — Sanitize with standard laboratory disinfectants.

Pall® MicroFunnel™ ST Filter Funnels

• Convenient and Economical Choice for Sterility Testing Within Isolators
• MicroFunnel ST filter funnels offer an alternative to costly closed-system sterility testing when using an isolator or containment suite
• 0.45 μm GN-6 Metricel® membrane or low binding Supor® membrane provides a choice for sterility testing applications in the pharmaceutical industry
• Supor membrane is ideal for testing antibiotic solutions
• Double bagged packaging ensures easy transfer through airlock
• Simple squeeze separation design makes membrane retrieval easy
• Meets requirements of U.S., Japan, and European Pharmacopeias for sterility testing

Pall® Laboratory Manifold

A unique microbiology manifold that allows you to optimize testing without sacrificing cleanliness. With interchangeable components and coupling devices, the manifold takes direction from you.

• No more “dirty” manifolds: Microbial cross contamination of your sample is a thing of the past. The manifold is designed to fit most laboratory autoclaves by separating into manageable components.

• Double testing capacity: A larger manifold is at your reach with just a coupler. Modular design allows two manifolds to combine yielding a standard 6-place manifold which can be easily separated for disinfection and/or sterilization.

• Manifolds that adapt to you: Whether you are right or left-handed, setting up your test workflow is second nature. The components interchangeable and designed with a simple slip fit to the manifold.

Applications

Bioburden testing of filterable products is performed to determine the number of viable and reproducible microorganisms. By recovering organisms on and in a membrane filter, processing efficiency and the microbial quality of a sample can be evaluated to assure that the product is not harmful to the intended recipient.

Detecting spoilage microorganisms are critical for foods and beverages as they may be responsible for the deterioration of sensory qualities (visual, texture, and taste) and may potentially render the product harmful for consumption. Using membrane filtration, detection of these spoilage microorganisms keep contaminated items from reaching the market.
