A new filtration head for Microfil®
Microfil® consumables consist of single use sterile
250 mL or 100 mL plastic funnels and sterile packed
filtration membranes. Membranes are available
in single pouch (S-Pak®) or in rolls of 150 units
(EZ-Pak®) allowing a touch-free safe and fast dis-
pensing thanks to the EZ-Pak® Dispenser Curve.
The new Microfil® head has been designed to forceps, reducing the risk of touching the membrane
improve ease-of-use, reduce maintenance and filtration area. The porous filtration support can
limit the risk of contamination. A continuous rim be removed simply by pressing down anywhere
allows easy and safe membrane transfer with around its edge.
