Sartorius® Three-Branch Microsart® Manifold 168M3-MS for Consumables & Interconnectable, 316L SS, 121°C x 30 Min

Three-Branch Microsart Manifold 168M3-MS is a specialized laboratory apparatus manufactured by Sartorius, designed for microbiological quality control of liquid samples using the membrane filtration method.

This advanced manifold is equipped with three filtration positions, enabling the simultaneous processing of up to three samples, enhancing efficiency and throughput in laboratories that require rapid testing.

The laboratory filtration system is designed to be used with disposable or reusable filtration funnels and filters, such as Microsart funnels. As interconnectable, it has multiple manifolds that can can be connected together to expand the number of filtration positions as needed, offering flexibility in testing volume.

The high-grade stainless steel construction ensures reliable performance in microbiological quality control, offering excellent corrosion resistance in harsh chemical environments and suitability for sterile applications. Its strong resistance to sensitization during welding makes it ideal for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.

Autoclaving conditions for sterilization are set at 121°C for 30 minutes, demonstrating that the manifold can endure these parameters to ensure thorough disinfection for aseptic processes. This capability ensures that the stainless steel filtration apparatus maintains the highest standards of cleanliness and safety in laboratory applications.

Quick connection adapters allow for fast setup and easy disassembly of tubing, facilitating efficient workflow in the lab.

The low working height is optimized for use within laminar flow hoods, promoting ease of use and reducing strain on laboratory personnel.

The manifold's valves, made of Monel, offer excellent ductility and resistance against a wide range of corrosive media, including seawater, brine, and acids.

It also includes O-rings and feet made of silicon, ensuring optimal sealing and stability during operation.
