Pioneering Excellence with the New Steritest™ Symbio Pumps

Merck is a renowned expert in sterility testing. In 1974, when we invented the first Steritest™ closed membrane filtration testing device, we made sterility testing reliable.
Reliable sterility testing is now even easier with our new Steritest™ Symbio sterility testing pumps. They will speed up and streamline your workflow, maximizing safety, confidence and convenience.

Designed to Fit Your Testing Environment

Steritest™ pumps and accessories are designed to answer the challenges of usage in laminar flow hoods, isolators and cleanrooms.

Steritest™ Symbio ISL Pump	Steritest™ Symbio LFH Pump	Steritest™ Symbio FLEX Pump
The Steritest™ Symbio ISL Pump is optimized for extremely convenient sterility testing inside isolators.

The pump is compatible with all standard round-table cutouts and is a perfect replacement for Steritest™ Integral and Steritest™ Equinox Isolator pumps (without table rework).	With its compact design, the Steritest™ Symbio LFH Pump can be used comfortably in the smallest testing environments, including in a laminar flow hood, biosafety cabinet, cleanroom or even inside an isolator.	The Steritest™ Symbio FLEX Pump is very versatile and can be installed in multiple ways in either an isolator or a laminar flow hood. The pump is compatible with all standard round cutouts, and is also the perfect replacement for the Steritest™ Equinox Isofit, as it will also match its oval cutout without the need for table rework.
