Abstract
POSITIVE pressure filtration for the sterilization of fluids avoids the risks of suck-back from the pump and prevents concentration of the fluid by evaporation. It is, however, more difficult to ensure sterile collection of the filtrate. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 minimizes the risks of infection. The narrow funnel containing the glass sinter fits into an elongated bell-housing, its stem projecting into a Universal container, wedged into the housing with cotton- wool.
