Sartorius Environmental Air Monitoring Gelatin Membranes

Collect airborne microbes and viruses. Sartorius Environmental Air Monitoring Gelatin Membranes guarantee reliable and accurate results. They are sterile and water soluble with a high retention rate. Choose from a range of sizes in single-wrapped disposable filters with holders or packs of filter disks.

Completely water soluble to maintain microorganisms

• Viability of collected microorganisms is retained for a relevant and meaningful sampling time
• Microbes in one sample can be cultivated in/on different nutrient media
• Low and high bacteria counts can be measured
• Sample is not affected by inhibitors
• Solubility of the gelatin filter is a prerequisite for virus sampling

For use with the MD8 Airscan™ air samplers (gelatin filter method)

• Available as filter discs, suitable for the filter holder 17655 (80mm dia.) supplied with the MD8 Airscan, as well as in smaller diameters.
• Disposable filter options are individually packaged, presterilized and ready-to-connect units, each consisting of a gelatin membrane filter and a holder

Retention rates

• Bac. subtilis niger spores 99.9995% at 0.25m/s inlet velocity
• Coli-Phages: phage T1, 99.9% at 0.3m/s inlet velocity and 50% rel. air humidity
• Phage T3, 99.94% at 0.3 m/s inlet velocity and 80% rel. air
