Sterilization performance comparison between an autosampler-ready microporous filter vial and a syringe-based filter

Herein we report that the Thomson Standard and eXtreme/FV® filter vials (0.2 μm polyvinylidene difluoride filter membrane) are as effective as gold standard microporous membrane-based syringe filters at removing bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, from media samples produced in the microbiologic...

Summary:Herein we report that the Thomson Standard and eXtreme/FV® filter vials (0.2 μm polyvinylidene difluoride filter membrane) are as effective as gold standard microporous membrane-based syringe filters at removing bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, from media samples produced in the microbiological laboratory. •A novel device to filter sterilize microbiological samples•Capacity to increase sample processing throughput in the microbiological laboratory•Reduced sample handling may potentially yield better analytical precision.
