Exhibition and scientific presentations for Whitehouse Scientific team at World Filtration Congress

Whitehouse Scientific will exhibit from the company’s unique range of filter calibration products and services at the World Filtration Congress in Leipzig, Germany from 14-18 April 2008. In addition, managing director Dr Graham Rideal will speak at two of the conference sessions.

In conjunction with Dr E Mayer of DuPont Engineering, USA, Dr Rideal will present ‘Filter media pore size comparison between porometry and glass bead challenge testing’. He will also give a paper on work conducted by the team at Whitehouse Scientific entitled ‘A study of the mechanism of wet and dry filtration using NIST-traceable glass microspheres’.

Whitehouse Scientific has developed a new method of pore size analysis in filter media, measuring sizes from 5-1000 microns. The Whitehouse approach allows full NIST traceability, something that in the past has presented a challenge for users of fine pore size filters. The test is proving particularly helpful for pharmaceutical filters.

2008 is a notable year for Whitehouse Scientific as the company celebrates its silver anniversary, having now produced and certified glass microspheres for 25 years. In that time the company has become established as the leading laboratory for glass reference standards and has produced more than one million single-shot bottles.
