Workflow For Rapid Sterility Testing Using The New Milliflex® Rapid System 2.0

Watch the 3-minute video to get an idea of the workflow for the Milliflex® Rapid System 2.0, an automated solution for the rapid detection, imaging and quantification of viable microbial contaminants in filterable samples at various stages of the manufacturing process.

The Milliflex® Rapid System 2.0 combines membrane filtration and ATP bioluminescence to detect, image and quantify microcolonies of bacteria, molds or yeasts up to 4 times faster than compendial sterility or bioburden testing methods.

The workflow involves three steps:

1. Membrane filtration of the sample and transfer of the membrane filter onto an agar plate for incubation
2. Automated application onto the membrane of the reagents needed for the ATP bioluminescence reaction
3. Detection & enumeration of microcolonies, computer-based result analysis
