Milliflex PLUS MXPPLUS 03 filtration system: a high-performance solution for reliable microbiological control
Millipore's Milliflex PLUS MXPP LUS 03 filtration system is a solution designed to meet the strict requirements of environments where microbiological contamination control is crucial. This device integrates up to three Milliflex PLUS pumps in a compact workstation, maximising processing flow while ensuring optimal reproducibility of results.
This system is particularly suitable for quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage and microelectronics industries. By streamlining the sampling and filtration steps, the MXPPLUS 03 optimises operational performance and significantly reduces sample processing time, while improving data traceability.
Thanks to an intuitive user interface and preloaded programmes, filtration cycles are fully automated, freeing the operator from repetitive tasks. For complex liquids such as antibiotics or viscous fluids, manual mode allows the pump's operation to be adapted to each specific procedure. This flexibility is enhanced by the ability to interchange pump heads to use other devices such as MicropreSure or Sterisure units.
The system's accuracy is based on an internal weight-based calibration programme, ensuring equal volumes are processed and excellent reproducibility. The integrated automatic drying cycle effectively removes liquid residues, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. All surfaces in contact with the sample are autoclavable or pre-sterilised, ensuring impeccable hygiene and compliance with good laboratory practice.
In terms of performance, three Milliflex PLUS pumps can perform 96 filtrations in just 54 minutes, compared to over 65 minutes with a traditional six-position vacuum manifold. This productivity gain makes the MXPPLUS 03 particularly attractive in high-throughput production environments.
In addition, the system connects to a PC or printer for easy report management and complete traceability. The station's small footprint makes it compatible with laminar flow hoods, allowing it to be used in confined working environments.
The Milliflex PLUS MXPPLUS 03 is the ideal solution for all laboratories looking for a high-performance, flexible filtration device that meets the most stringent quality requirements. Its ability to reduce handling time, guarantee analysis accuracy and minimise the risk of contamination makes it an essential tool for industrial microbiology professionals.
