The new Sterisart
®
Universal pump
is a peristaltic pump equipped with
appropriate devices for attaching
a closed sterility test system and a
sample container.
The pump draws liquid from the
sample container into the specially
designed double tubing, distribut-
ing the liquid equally to both
sample containers of the sterility
test system. The sample is rinsed
in a similar way. After the nutrient
media is added, the sample
containers are incubated for a
prescribed time and evaluated.
