Coliform/E. coli Detection in Drinking Water Quality Control

Pall has been involved with water quality monitoring for Coliforms since Standard Methods adopted the use of Membrane Filtration as an acceptable, and often preferable, method for monitoring drinking water quality.

• Mixed cellulose ester GN-6 Metricel® membranes set the standards worldwide for meeting stringent regulations by providing uniform and consistent growth of organisms.
• Accessories to support water quality labs including Petri dishes, prepared microbiological media, and hardware.
• MicroFunnel easy-to-use, disposable filter funnels
• Pall’s unique Magnetic Filter Funnel is used extensively throughout the water quality testing community because of its one-handed operation that simplifies testing and improves aseptic technique.

Cryptosporidium/Giardia Detection

Patented Envirochek® HV sampling capsules are designed for 100% capture and > 70% recovery of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts from source or finished water. The protocol is faster, safer, and simpler than other methods, and allows for processing of up to eight samples at once using Pall’s laboratory shaker.

• Approved by regulatory agencies worldwide for Cryptosporidium and Giardia monitoring, including U.S. EPA methods 1622 and 1623, United Kingdom DWI standard operating protocols, and ISO/DIS 15553:2006.
• Field-friendly design allows for a lower pressure source than competitive products, and is easier to transport and handle. Each capsule has a unique serial number for traceability.
• Disposable design eliminates false positives from cross-contamination; 1 µm pore size membrane ensures complete capture of the organisms, eliminating false negatives.
• Designed to eliminate human contact with organisms. No filter holder assembly or cleaning is required. Self-contained capsule’s filter element does not need to be handled.
