3.2 Filtration through the Vacuum
The method of membrane filtration enables you to determine the microbiological
quality of liquid samples.
By means of filtration, any microorganisms present in the sample are concentrated on
the membrane filter in order to then cultivate them on a culture medium.
Reusable stainless-steel funnels and various disposable products can be used on the
product in conjunction with a filter membrane. A membrane filter and a funnel with a
specific volume must be placed on the suction strip in advance for filtration. In order
to filter the liquid sample through the filter, the manifold must first be connected to
a vacuum source (Sartorius recommends using a Microsart
®
e.jet vacuum pump).
