Spiral Biotech Offers 1st High-Performance Filter Bags For Laboratory Sample Preparation Blenders

Norwood, MA - Advanced Instruments' subsidiary, Spiral Biotech, offers the first high-performance filter bags for laboratory food and solid sample blenders and mixers.

Spiral Biotech's BagFilter line of reinforced, heavy-duty plastic bags incorporates a unique nonwoven filter that separates bacterial flora from residual debris and provides easier and quicker pipeting. The single-use, sterilized bags ensure greater time savings with complete security.

Spiral's BagFilter family is available in the following configurations:

  • BagFilter® - With a nonwoven filter, this bag is recommended for analysis of raw and cooked meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. Two models are available: "P" for pipeting and "S" for pouring.
  • BagPage® - This bag ensures savings in analysis time by trapping sample debris behind the clog-free filter membrane. It's ideally suited for thick pasty products, such as cheese, pastry, and chocolate.
  • BagPage+® - The bag has two compartments separated by the filter. One side is marked to identify the sample compartment, the other pinched by an extra weld for error-free pipeting.
  • BagLight® - A sturdy plain bag for products that don't require filtration. Made from Polysilk ®, the container is remarkably resilient and can be deep frozen.

BagFilter products are available in 100 ml, 400 ml or 3500 ml sizes. Designed for use in Spiral's industry-leading BagMixer and Gravimat sample preparation systems, they also work with any other type of blender.

Spiral's BagFilter products provide the quickest way to enhance a laboratory's sample mixer performance.
