The invention relates to a drainage device for a filter unit for microbiological testing of liquids, said drainage device including a mechanical support (), which is adapted to receive a filter unit (), and an suction pump () connected to said mechanical support to aspirate a liquid substance contained in said filter unit. The device comprises: a weight sensor () on which said mechanical support is mounted; a user interface () for entering data relating to drainage and/or said liquid substance; and a control unit () connected to said suction pump (), the weight sensor () and said user interface (), said control unit () being adapted to determine, from said data, at least a first weight corresponding to a first representative signal; and, when said weight sensor () supplies a signal corresponding to said first signal, said control unit () starts operation of said suction pump () so as to aspirate said liquid substance contained in said filter unit ().

The present invention provides a biological culture growth and observation device () comprising a cup-shaped tray () for containing or receiving a growth medium for said biological culture and a cap () which matches said tray () and which can be snapped on and off said tray (), characterized in that said cap () and tray () are provided with means () to snap on/off said cap () on/off the inner walls () of said tray () and in that said cup-shaped tray () is realized with walls () having a first circumferential edge () on which a removable seal () can be fixed to cover the surface of said edge () and the cap () snapped on the tray () before the first use of the device ().

Biological culture growth and observation device

Laboratory device design particularly for a multiplate format that includes a plate or tray having a plurality of wells, and a drain in fluid communication with each of the plurality of wells. The plate is a one-piece design having a honeycomb structure that brings high rigidity to the plate in order to accept very high centrifugal load. The design also maximizes the well volume and active filtration area while remaining in compliance with SBS format.
