A sample preparation device, preferably for sterility testing, comprising a manifold including one or more receptacles for filtration units and at least one inlet and/or outlet port. The receptacle(s) is/are respectively provided with one or more connectors for establishing a fluid connection with mating ports of the filtration units and media containers/vials upon insertion of the same into the respective receptacles. The connectors are in fluid communication with the inlet and outlet port(s) via channels defined in the manifold to allow a desired fluid transfer through the manifold.

Sample preparation device

The device for the transfer of a medium comprises a magazine having two main faces () of which one is adapted to cooperate with a container and a lateral face () extending between said main faces () as well as at least one sliding valve () housed in a cavity of said magazine () and in which there is formed a transfer duct () for said medium which issues on said face () adapted to cooperate with said container, said valve () having a closed position in which it sealingly isolates said duct () from said container and an open position in which said duct () is placed in communication with said container; said valve () comprising a valve member (), an isolation sleeve () surrounding at least partially said valve member () as well as spring means () adapted to be compressed by said valve member () when said valve () is in its open position.
