A filtration system was designed to sterilize large volumes of Mycobacterium bovis BCG Tokyo culture safely, needed to purify protein antigens for immunodiagnosis of bovine tuberculosis. A closed system consists of culture bottles connected to three disposable filter capsules of decreasing pore size in series: a depth prefilter over a 1.2 microns filter; 0.8 micron prefilter over a 0.45 micron filter; and a 0.2 micron sterile filter. Low air pressure (3 psi) forces liquid from below the bacillary pellicle. The system features a stainless steel clamp to hold rubber stoppers on the culture bottles, pleated filters to exclude bacillary clumps, a quick disconnector to minimize aerosols, and a closed system with plastic disposable filters that can be autoclaved as a unit without dismantling.
