MultiVac 610–MS–T Multi-Branch Filtration System

A Multi-Branch Filtration System is primarily used for efficiently filtering multiple liquid samples simultaneously in laboratory settings, particularly for microbiology and suspended solid tests. This system streamlines the filtration process, making it ideal for labs dealing with a large number of samples.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Key Applications:
Microbiology Testing:
The system is widely used to filter out bacteria and other microorganisms from liquid samples, a crucial step in microbial detection.
Suspended Solid Tests:
It effectively separates solid particles from liquids, allowing for analysis of the solids or the remaining liquid.
General Laboratory Filtration:
Beyond specific tests, it’s used for various other filtration needs in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing.
Water Quality Analysis:
The system can be employed to analyze water samples for contaminants and other impurities.
Food and Beverage Industry:
Used for quality control and analysis in food and beverage production.
How it Works:
Multiple Filtration Points:
The system features multiple filtration units (branches) connected to a vacuum pump.
Vacuum Filtration:
A vacuum pump creates a pressure difference, drawing liquid samples through filter membranes.
Individual Control:
Each branch usually has a valve allowing for independent control of filtration for each sample.
Efficiency:
This allows multiple samples to be filtered simultaneously, saving time and resources.
Components:
Vacuum Pump: Generates the negative pressure for filtration.
Filtration Manifold: The central component with multiple filter holders.
Filter Membranes: Specific pore sizes are chosen based on the analysis goals.
Waste Bottle: Collects the filtered liquid.
Lab Burner (optional): Used for sterilization of components.
Individual Control Valves: Allow for separate control of each filtration branch.
