Expert insights

You would be surprised how much a liquid sample can tell you about its microbiological content! Over the years, membrane filtration has become a standard for microbial enumeration of colonies in the pharmaceutical and beverages industries.

It is time to unveil some of its secrets! How are membranes made? Which one should I select for my application? One membrane looks just like another, but what about performance?

In this free SelectScience webinar, Tommaso Ronconi, Global Product Manager, In-Process Testing, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany presents an evaluation of the company’s latest bioburden testing product against a variety of other membranes and sterile funnels.


The webinar will cover;

  • Introduction on membrane manufacturing
  • Choosing the appropriate filter for all laboratory applications
  • Dealing with hard to filter matrices and antibiotics
  • Evaluating a filter performance: an example of comparison study

There will also be a question and answer session at the end of the webinar and attendees will be invited to contribute questions.

Register now for the live event on February 28, 2017 at 16:00 GMT/08:00 PST/11:00 EST/17:00 CET

FiltrationFiltration and microfiltration are used to separate solids, particulates or large molecules from fluids (liquid or gases) in order to purify the filtrate. Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices. Find the best filtration products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Food and Beverage ProcessingFood and Beverage Processing involves the preparation of food products for further analysis. Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.Food SafetyFood safety describes the prevention of food-borne illnesses. Contamination with a variety of pathogens can be prevented with adequate temperature control, hygiene and labeling. Food samples can be tested using GC/MS, HPLC, SPE, and qPCR to ensure their adherence to regulations.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.PharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, cure and treat illnesses. Pharmaceuticals that are excreted after use appear in wastewater and can have detrimental effects on the environment.Vacuum Filtration
