EZ-Fit^® Manifold by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

A design to eliminate sources of contamination:

• Easy to prevent biofilms: The new EZ-Fit^® Manifold design eliminates sources of contamination that can cause false positive results: all internal areas are accessible and can be cleaned efficiently and all components can be autoclaved 
• Each component can be removed quickly and easily without any additional tools 
• A check valve is integrated into the tubing connection to prevent liquid back-flow from the vacuum system 
• The 2-way valve prevents the user from accidentally touching the filtration head while opening or closing it

Ease of use:

• A low height design increases comfort, especially when used in laminar flow hoods 
• The tubing to the vacuum source can be connected to either side of the manifold 
• The total weight is only 2.9 kg for a 3-place manifold! But nonetheless the stability of the manifold on non-flat working areas is ensured by a unique system 
• The valves are large and easy to operate 
• A new filtration head for Microfil^® disposable funnels and membranes improves ease-of-use, reduces maintenance and limits the risk of contamination. A continuous rim allows easy and safe membrane transfer with forceps (reducing the risk of touching the membrane filtration area) and membrane removal with one hand 
• Filtration heads are available which accept N°8 stoppers. These fit our devices such as Monitor 55-Plus™ and EZ-Fit^® Filtration Unit. One filtration head is also compatible with stainless steel and glass funnels.
