Description
SEPARA® Syringeless filter is one step sample preparation device and integrates a device auto-sampler, filtration membrane, plug and cap/septa. The device consists of two parts: an internal vial with a membrane chamber and an external vial to be filled with filtrate. The internal vial has a sealed membrane and a cap with a pre-cut septa.
The liquid is placed in the external vial and dispensed by pressing the internal vial. This pushes the liquid through the membrane. The sample is then filtered and the SEPARA is ready to be loaded in the auto-sampler.
Features:
Save money – Eliminate the need for separate syringes, syringe filters, vials and septa, reducing sample preparation costs by 50%
Save operator time – 15 seconds SEPARA® Press&Go!, against 3 minutes with conventional sample preparation methods
Speed up process with high throughput automation – Designed and compatible for use with all HPLC or UHPLC auto-samplers
Preserve precious samples – Start with less sample volume; dead volume as low as 30 microliters (μL)
Reduce risk of cross-contaminations – No cumbersome steps transferring sample between different devices
Extend column life and needle longevity – Reduce risks of clogging and back pressure build up
Increase operator security – Safer single step process
Reduce identification errors – Color-coded caps by membrane type and pore size

Ordering information
| Part no. | Product | Description | Package |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10498303 | Neutralizing Buffer Swabs | Neutralizing buffer swabs are used in the monitoring of surfaces for total bacterial count. Neutralizing buffer inactivates the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects of chlorine and quaternary ammonium detergents. | 4ml, 125/pk |
| 10498304 | 4ml, 500/pk | ||
| 10498305 | Buffer Swabs | Buffer Swabs are used for the collection of surface contamination from flat or convoluted surfaces prior to transport to a laboratory for culture and enumeration. Buffer swabs contain no bacteriostatic or bactericidal compounds and cannot suppress the action of detergents. | 4ml, 125/pk |
| 10498306 | 4ml, 500/pk | ||
| 10498315 | Total Count Swab Kit | Total Count Swab Kit is used for the non-selective development and enumeration of all aerobic bacteria on surfaces in accordance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). The kit includes the swabs and culture medium, packaged with a membrane device, providing a quantitative result. | 2.8 mL/tube and membrane device, 30/pk |
| 10498316 | Yeast and Mold Swab Kit | Yeast and Mold Swab Kit is used for the enumeration of yeast and molds on surfaces in accordance with HACCP. The kit includes the swabs and culture medium, packaged with a membrane device, providing a quantitative result. M-Green yeast and mold is an improved modification of the liquid medium, and was developed to improve efficiency of detection and enumeration of fungi in sugar based drinks using the membrane filtration method. This medium has a low pH, which inhibits bacterial growth. | 2.8 mL/tube and membrane device, 30/pk |
| 10498402 | SwabCheck Escherichia coli | SwabCheck Escerichia coli is used for the detection of Escherichia coli on surfaces. The presence of fluorescence using a longwave UV light source confirms the presence of Escherichia coli and any further confirmation is not required. MUG detects anaerogenic strain that may not be detected in the conventional procedure. | 4 mL/tube, 125/pk |
| 10498404 | SwabCheck | SwabCheck is used as an indication of hygiene on contact surfaces. SwabCheck changes color from purple to yellow. The color change is based on acid reaction with the indicator. The more rapid the color change, the higher the level of bacteria in the sample. SwabCheck is useful in determining the sanitation levels of preparation surfaces, filling ports, and processing areas in beverage and food processing plants, dairies, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. | 4 mL/tube, 125/pk |
| 10498406 | Coliform SwabCheck | Escherichia coli and coliforms are used traditionally as indicator organisms for fecal contamination in water and other environmental samples. Detection of these organisms usually points to poor hygiene at some stage in the production process or pollution of water at source. The presence of coliforms is indicated by a color change from brown to yellow. The more rapid the color change the higher the level of coliform bacteria. | Individually wrapped package, 25/pk |
| 10498407 | Hygiene SwabCheck | Easy to use: The Hygiene SwabCheck shows an obvious color change from red to yellow. The time taken for this change is an indication of the level of contamination. This should be used in conjunction with known specification levels of your process/product. | Individually wrapped package, 25/pk |
| 10498408 | Listeria SwabCheck | Listeria Isolation SwabCheck is designed to be used alongside traditional selective methods to improve the quality system and minimize the risk of Listeria contamination. This simple to use diagnostic test can be applied anywhere in the environment and on foodstuffs where the presence of Listeria species would be critical. | Individually wrapped package, 25/pk |
| 10498521 | Polywipe Sponge | Polywipe Sponge is used for the recovery of microorganisms from a surface. Polywipe is a blue sponge that is premoistened with neutralizing buffer to neutralize the effects of surface disinfectants. The sponge material is selected to be free of the preservatives found in commercially available sponges, which can inhibit microorganism growth. Polywipe sponges are biocide free and tested for zero toxicity to microorganisms. Each sponge is individually wrapped in a peel pouch and gamma irradiated to ensure sterility. | Individually wrapped pre-moistened sponge, 50/pk |
