Basic Techniques in Microbiology - Sterile filtration

This film shows the process of sterile filtration used for liquid media which are not autoclavable due to their sensitivity to heat.
German version is also available.

how do you sterilise the filter

[@colosistvan]

:D Sterile filtration in open room air and without mask and long sleeve sterile gloves, no alcohol sprayed on the tools etc...!? :D Just LOL

>Basic techniques in microbiology >Sterile [insert whatever lab procedures in here] >No glove >In open air, open bench well these isn't going well with each other

Seriously, why no gloves!? Why do so many labs not emphasize this?

[@tvviewer4500]

Because gloves aren't necessary (and a total waste of money) if you know how to clean yourself and take care of how you do things.

​@@Margoth195 Hardly. If you are participating in an activity that involves sterile filtration you already know what biohazards or otherwise dangerous materials that would require gloves or other safety gear.

[@Margoth195]

@@tvviewer4500 that is seldom a safe assumption and thus the entire reason for gloves.

@@Margoth195 I don't know what kind of clowns you work with. Give me a scenario.
