1.0 Introduction
The AquaSafe® AquaFlex® MFX50 is a small benchtop incubator for the incubation of microbiological
samples prepared using the membrane filtration method. The incubator is primarily designed to be
used with the supplied 54mm x 3.5mm aluminium petri dishes which are suitable for 47mm
membrane filter pads, but the incubator can also be used with 55mm pre-prepared plastic petri-
dishes. Dip slides can also be accommodated.
The incubator has the option to run user defined temperature profiles for periods of 0 – 168 hours.
