Merck – Quality Control – Manifold
Optimize your workflow – Take control of your contamination risks
A design to eliminate sources of contamination:
- 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
- A new filtration head for Microfil® disposable funnels and membranes improves ease-of-use, reduces maintenance and limits the risk of contamination. A continuous rim allows easy and safe membrane transfer with forceps (reducing the risk of touching the membrane filtration area) and membrane removal with one hand
- Filtration heads are available which accept N°8 stoppers. These fit our devices such as Monitor 55-Plus™ and EZ-Fit® Filtration Unit. One filtration head is also compatible with stainless steel and glass funnels.
