NPS membrane filtration

Innovative filtration system

Membrane filtration, NPS culture media

Easy, simple, fast

The innovative filtration system with dehydrated media in ready-to-use cartons. Easy, simple, fast for laboratory-accurate analysis even in the brewery.

Advantages

Nutrient cartons have been successfully used in the membrane filtration method for over 30 years.

Practical and easy to use, nutrient cartons reduce preparation time and simplify many microbiological control procedures.

Microorganisms require the appropriate culture medium for optimal growth.

What are they?

The nutrient cartons are dehydrated, pre-sterilised diculture media placed in a Petri dish and, once rehydrated with 3.0 – 3.5 ml of sterile demineralised (or purified) water, are immediately ready for use.

Shelf Life

The standard NPS package contains 50 or 100 nutrient cartons, individually placed in a Petri dish and sterilised in ten sealed aluminium bags containing ten plates each.

This special packaging protects against changes in temperature and humidity while maintaining the quality of the medium for up to 24 months.
