Construction & operating principle
A microbiological filtration cup combines a sample reservoir, membrane and support base in one testing unit. Depending on the design, the membrane is transferred after filtration or the base continues into the culture workflow. Reducing open transfers can simplify handling. Reliable results still depend on sealing, suitable sample volume and even contact between the membrane and growth medium.
Typical uses
- Microbiological examination of suitable liquid samples
- Batch membrane filtration of multiple samples
- Culture workflows with fewer membrane transfers
Compare product approaches
| Selection factor | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Culture route | Removable membranes and directly cultured bases require different methods and accessories. |
| Base compatibility | Match the filtration manifold interface rather than forcing an approximate fit. |
| Sample loading | Cup volume affects handling; turbidity also governs blockage and overlapping colonies. |

- 01
Preparation
Inspect packaging and components before aseptic installation on a clean filtration position.
- 02
Filtration and rinsing
Follow the method for inhibitory residues; arbitrary rinsing can alter recovery.
- 03
Culture
Maintain consistent nutrient contact and incubation, recording sample identity and filtered volume.
Product questions
Is this interchangeable with a normal funnel?
Membrane support, culture interfaces and packaging are part of the microbiological workflow.
Should slow filtration be solved with more vacuum?
First assess loading and blockage; excessive vacuum may affect the device or organism recovery.
