1423051 Coated products MILES LABORATORIES INC 23 March 1973 [26 April 1972] 14218/73 Heading B2E [Also in Division G1] An article for use in microbiology, in which it is contacted with a microorganism, comprises an absorbent web element having a substantially flat surface, a microporous membrane element overlaying at least a portion of the surface, having a mean pore size between 0.01 and 2.0 micrometers, and joined to the web element by a continuous interface therebetween integral therewith, and comprising a composite of the web and mebrane elements, and a microbiological nutrient substance incorporated with at least one of the web and membrane elements. As shown in Figure 2 the laminated structure 14 consists of an absorbent web 20, such as paper, to which a microporous membrane 23 is associated via an interface 21 which is a composite of the web 20 and membrane 23. Vents 22 may be provided in the base member 12 to allow fluid to enter recess 18 and be absorbed into the web 20. The absorbent web may also be of cloth or wood and the microporous membrane 23 is preferably formed of a polymeric material such as a cellulose ester, e.g. cellulose triacetate, and cellulose nitrate, regenerated cellulose, polyvinyl chloride and nylon. The continuous interface is preferably 1-5 microns thick and the pore size may be 0.01 to 0.2 micrometres. |
