Combisart® Manifolds and Filter Holders
By Sartorius
The Sartorius Combisart, system enables you to select the optimal hardware and consumables for your needs in microbiological analysis or particle count in quality assurance. Combisart features a modular design and field-proven standard accessories to make your choice easier. The Combisart is available as 1, 3, or 6 place manifolds. At the heart of the Combisart system is a stainless steel manifold designed to accommodate all types of filter holders and funnels such as:
- Ready-to-use units Biosart® 100 Monitors
- Ready-to-use units Biosart® 250 Funnels
- Flammable units such as stainless steel funnels
- Autoclavable glass filter holders
- Autoclavable polycarbonate
A special feature of the Combisart manifold are the stainless steel three-way valves (taps). They allow the vacuum for each filter holder to be individually controlled and each filter station to be sterilely vented, eliminating secondary contamination of the underside of the filter.
Since the most reliable sterilization method is autoclaving, the Combisart design offers a unique advantage for this method. After inserting the membrane filters in the filter holders, you can simply unscrew them as an entire unit from each workstation and autoclave. Combisart makes filtration equally easy for left- or right-handed users in your laboratory, as funnels can be positioned to suit the individual user.
