Membrane filter method is fully aoutomated as a rapid microbiological test method. Each plate with a filter can also be conditioned to anaerobic.

　　　

Set plates with filter and start a test !

The Membrane Filter (MF) method is widely used for detecting the presence of microbes in water sample or in environmental sample since it permits analysis of larger samples.

You can achieve rapid and reliable microbial detection by MicroBio µ3D system, performing Membrane Filter method. The system is able to incubate at different temperature, such as 25ºC for mold or 55ºC for thermophiles. Besides, automated anaerobic Membrane Filter microbial detection method can be performed at various temperature range. Therefore, Lactobacillus detection for large sample or Clostridium detection also can be automated and performed rapidly.

Fully automated rapid Membrane Filter method to detect Bacillu pumilus is shown below.
