Whatman MBS I Plastic Funnel 100 ml, PP, Autoclavable, 20 Pack, 10445861 (DISCONTINUED)

MBS I is an excellent system for optimal microbiological control using membranes. The overall procedure time is reduced to a minimum. The design of the system, which consists of an electrical membrane dispenser, a funnel dispenser, and a vacuum manifold, leads to more reproducible results. The special sealing technique ensures easy handling and high integrity of the funnel and membrane during filtration. This keeps any cross-contamination to a minimum.

The combination of the funnel dispenser and the Membrane-Butler E in the MBS I system is constructed so that when a funnel is taken from the dispenser, the butler automatically dispenses a membrane from the sterile pack, ready to use.

The autoclavable plastic funnel for the MBS I is a true innovation. The new funnel does not require tedious flaming of stainless-steel filtration equipment for sterilization. It is simple to use and ensures sterility. Funnels are provided sterile in a magazine and save time especially when a large number of samples need to be processed by one apparatus. The funnels (35 ml) are of high-grade polypropylene and can be autoclaved up to 5 times. For applications in which funnels are only used once, the system offers another solution: a 1 ml funnel that is presterilized and supplied ready for immediate use. A special closure mechanism at the extraction edge ensures that the funnel seals tightly with the membrane.

• Simple to use
