RODUCT VERVIEW The InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette System is part of the FluidPrep product line, which revolutionizes how particles are concentrated from liquids for a wide variety of applications, including microbial analysis. 1.1 P RODUCT ESCRIPTION The InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette Select (CP Select™), shown in Figure 2.1, quickly and efficiently concentrates particles of interest from large liquid sample volumes into liquid volumes as small as 200 microliters (smaller volumes are attainable in some applications).
Tubing Clip (HC08017) – Keeps permeate line secure to waste container. • Permeate Line (HC08006) – Directs filtered fluid to waste container. See Section 5.2. • Silicone Lubricant (HC08535) – Used for required, periodic lubrication of O-rings in the Tip Interface Port. See • Section 5.5. Rev B InnovaPrep LLC...

ETHOD OF PERATION The InnovaPrep concentration process uses dead-end filtration to capture particles onto the surface of a porous membrane filter. A novel Wet Foam Elution™ process is then employed to wash the particles off of the membrane surface into very small liquid volumes.
Wet Foam Elution allows the user to select the fluid that the particles will be suspended in after concentration, which reduces inhibition and maximizes the chances of detection. 2.4 CP F (CPT ILTER For selecting the proper CPT please refer to the Consumable Selection Guide Rev B InnovaPrep LLC...

In cleanroom settings, the Concentrating Pipette user may desire to collect the permeate fluid in an enclosed container fitted with a vent filter. This eliminates the remote possibility of airborne contamination. InnovaPrep has a Permeate Bottle with a Vent Filter available for this use (item HC08530). It comes with a 2-port closure consisting of a 0.2 µm vent filter and an 18-inch length of tubing.
