Device Description
3.3 Membrane Filter Dispensing
The device transports the membrane filter strip
through the filter output and separates it from the
individual packaging. The transparent film and paper
of the empty membrane filter strips are spooled on the
spool rollers.
The dispensed membrane filters are used for the
microbiological examination of liquids that can be
filtered and are placed in a culture medium and
incubated after filtration. Quantification, i.e., the
determination of the germ count, then follows.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, the membrane filters are dispensed
by pressing the illuminated key or operating the foot
switch. The device is set to this mode upon delivery.
Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, the membrane filters are dispensed
by sensor without touching the device.
