Milliflex® PLUS System: An Efficient Solution for Your Microbiological Quality Control
The Milliflex® PLUS system from Millipore is a microbiological filtration device designed to streamline and secure bioburden and water quality testing in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and microtechnology industries. With its intuitive interface and automated programs, this pharmaceutical-grade filtration system ensures fast, reproducible, and secure lab filtration, while minimizing manual handling by operators.
One of the major advantages of the Milliflex® PLUS lies in its ability to optimize filtration cycles through preloaded programs, especially beneficial for routine microbiological testing. A manual mode is also available, allowing users to adjust parameters for specific liquids such as viscous solutions or antibiotics. Its compact format makes it ideal for use under a laminar flow hood, enabling aseptic filtration directly at critical control points.
Productivity is at the core of the system: once the sample volume is poured, the automated process begins, ending with a drying cycle. This level of automation reduces operator intervention, lowers the risk of cross-contamination, and significantly speeds up the workflow. A workstation combining up to three Milliflex® PLUS pumps can be configured to outperform a standard 6-place vacuum manifold in terms of throughput.
To ensure traceability of quality control tests, the Milliflex® PLUS features an internal weight-based calibration system, delivering a constant volume per cycle. All data can be accessed via the built-in screen and exported to a PC or printer, enabling the generation of post-filtration reports—essential for IQ/OQ validation.
Its hygienic design—including sterile, autoclavable pump heads and surfaces compatible with common disinfectants—makes it a reliable choice for highly regulated environments. The system is compatible with Milliflex®, MicropreSure®, and Sterisure™ devices, offering high flexibility for various pharmaceutical and industrial liquid filtration protocols.
Thanks to its versatility, Milliflex® PLUS stands out as an essential tool for any lab aiming to enhance its microbiological control procedures with both rigor and efficiency.
