Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of using gelatine membrane filters?
Gelatine filters are ideal for hygiene monitoring because they prevent the dehydration of captured microorganisms, ensuring that germs remain viable for subsequent culturing and identification.
2. Are the Sartorius MD 8 filter holders compatible with tubing?
Yes, Sartorius provides flexible plastic tubing (2 m) and specialized connection sets specifically designed to integrate the MD 8 holders into a complete air sampling circuit.
3. What pore size is typical for hygiene monitoring filters?
Many sterile membrane filters used for air germ collection, such as the gelatine variants, feature a 3 µm pore size to effectively trap bacteria and fungal spores.
4. Can these filters be used for virus detection?
Yes, specialized filters like the Sartorius PU50 are specifically designed for the collection of viruses and germs from the air in critical hygiene environments.
