Its unique design includes quick-fit connections for assembly and disassembly without tools. Different filtration heads, all with quick-fit connections, make the manifold compatible with different types of disposable and reusable filtration devices. In addition, the internal areas are easily accessible for efficient cleaning of all surfaces, thus ensuring no biofilm is formed.  __Membrane Filtration Vacuum Manifold for Microbial Testing__ - Built-in filtration head vanguard, minimizing contamination risks where it counts - Low height for ease of use in laminar flow hoods - Extension accessories enable convenient operation at lab benches [View Products](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com#family-hardware) * * * ## [](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com)EZ-Stream® Pump Completing your filtration set-up, the EZ-Stream® Pump increases efficiency by transferring the filtered liquid directly to the waste. Simply connect the pump to the [vacuum manifold](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/technical-documents/technical-article/microbiological-testing/bioburden-testing/ez-fit-manifold) and place the discard tubing to drain and you are ready to filter. This saves significant amount of time versus traditional vacuum and pressure pumps or in-house vacuum as the following steps are eliminated: disconnecting the waste containers, emptying liquid waste, cleaning/decontamination, and re-installing the waste. The compact design of the pump makes it ideal for use on both the workbench and in a laminar flow hood, saving precious laboratory space. The vacuum level of the pump is compliant with regulatory standards.  __Vacuum filtration pump benefits__: - High-performance flow rate - No handling of liquid waste - Compact size - Noise reduction design - Smooth design, easy to decontaminate - Maintenance-free technology [View Products](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com#family-hardware) * * * ![](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/content/dam/cms-commons/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/images/technical-documents/articles/microbiological-testing/bioburden-testing/ez-fluo-system-non-destructive-fluoroscent-based-system.jpg "EZ-Fluo™ system is a non-destructive, fluoroscent based system for rapid microbial detection") [Learn More](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/technical-documents/technical-article/microbiological-testing/bioburden-testing/ez-fluo-rapid-microbial-detection-system) ## [](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com)EZ-Fluo™ Rapid Detection System The EZ-Fluo™ Rapid Detection System is an intuitive, non-destructive, fluorescent staining-based system for fast quantitative detection of microorganisms in a wide range of filterable samples. This rapid system uses standard membrane filtration to detect viable and culturable microorganisms down to 1 CFU per sample. The EZ-Fluo™ test results are easily comparable to compendial method test results, which facilitates the validation and the integration of this rapid system in any laboratory without causing disruption. Detected microbial contamination can be then identified using your current ID methodology. The EZ-Fluo™ system enables faster time to results across diverse applications.
