Rapid, Reliable Results
The accurate, reliable detection and identification of microorganisms is critical to public safety and industrial economics. As we become more aware of the presence and variety of the organisms that share the world we live in, we realize the importance of knowing how to detect and control them.
Pall is a leader in the development and manufacture of products to detect and control these microorganisms. Our products comply with international testing methods, are supported by technical literature, and carry certifications of quality. You can be confident that our affordable, easy-to-use products will meet the high quality standards you require.
Membranes
Culturing sensitive organisms can be difficult, and identification is critical for process control and public safety. Analysis membranes must be manufactured to the highest standards for accurate microbial growth and recovery. Pall's mixed cellulose ester GN Metricel® membrane has set the standard worldwide for meeting stringent microbial regulations. Supor® and Metricel Black membranes provide additional benefits that range from low drug and protein binding characteristics to background contrast for ease in counting colonies. These membranes provide uniform and consistent growth of organisms.
MicroFunnel™ Disposable Filter Funnels
Pall offers the widest selection of disposable filter funnels for microbiological analysis, offering unique design features that give these products a reputation for quality and ease of use.
- MicroFunnel filter funnels make analysis easy. Design permits a simple squeeze separation of funnel from base to access membrane.
- Funnels attach directly to standard laboratory manifolds, and volume graduations are clearly marked to make it easy to measure your sample volume.
- Each unit is individually bagged, gamma-irradiated, and labeled for added assurance of lot traceability.
Rely on Pall Life Sciences to simplify your microbiological analysis with our popular line of disposable MicroFunnel filter funnels, quality hardware, and convenient accessories.
Thoughtfully Designed Hardware and Accessories
Pall offers a full line of microbiological ampoule media, laboratory hardware, and accessories like Petri dishes and stainless steel forceps to simplify your microbial analysis procedures.
Industrial Microbiology Products
Ensuring the effectiveness of cleaning procedures, quality of raw materials, and reliable processing capabilities are essential to preparing a safe, high quality end product. Pall's 37 mm Quality Monitor is used to monitor microelectronics water quality to detect microorganism contamination that can block a sub-micron circuit path on a computer chip. The food and beverage industry chooses the easy-to-use Microcheck™ II beverage monitors to improve speed, productivity, and accuracy in the lab.
Responding to Contamination Control With Disposable Funnels
The pharmaceutical microbiology market requires reliable and accurate results as a basis for quality control of raw materials, processes, and finished product. Critical decisions are made daily and confidence in results, as well as methods to control contamination during sampling and analysis, is a driving force in this market. A false positive on a test result can trigger a series of events that lead to unnecessary retesting, product release delays, and extensive paperwork to document a course of action. This all leads to increased operating costs.
One way Pall Life Sciences has responded to contamination control is by broadening our range of disposable filter funnels with designs to help improve the sampling process. Whether the need is bioburden analysis, sterility testing, or water system monitoring, we have a MicroFunnel™ filter funnel to suit the application. Certified MicroFunnel disposable filter funnels are individually bagged, labeled, and ready to use. Each lot is evaluated for recovery performance. The standard selection of MicroFunnel filter funnels is ideal for any bioburden analysis.
MicroFunnel Plus filter funnels streamline QC testing.
Simple, Versatile Contamination Control
MicroFunnel Plus filter funnels are the only disposable filter funnels on the market that can serve as a sample cup and filter funnel in one product. This unique design further streamlines sample collection and analysis of purified water systems while providing more protection to the integrity of the sample. This is a critical consideration for any contamination control program. Another important distinction of the MicroFunnel Plus filter funnel is its ability to sample water from systems maintained up to 90 ºC.
The MicroFunnel ST filter funnel is packaged for ease of use when performing sterility testing within an isolator. Designed to be an acceptable sterility testing alternative and to reduce testing costs, the MicroFunnel ST filter funnel meets critical conditions of sterility testing and all requirements found in the U.S. Pharmacopeia, current edition.
