Abstract
A system is provided for testing the sterility of a plurality of samples. The samples are fed by gravity to and through a first conduit which branches into a pair of conduits terminating in two separate test chambers. Each of the test chambers has a main chamber portion and a filter therein. The sample material is gravity fed into the main chamber portions and a vacuum pump is used to draw the liquid material through the filter and out of the test chamber. Test media is introduced to each of the test chambers through an injection site and the test chambers are incubated.
