Porvair Filtration Group, the filtration and separation specialist, has added an enhanced range of microbial rated disposable cartridge filters to its range of liquid filters.
Biofil™ R cartridges are an addition to the successful Biofil™ polyethersulphone Food Safety and USP Class IV approved range of filters, and feature a novel technology which renders the product super-hydrophilic. Integrity testing of sterilising filter cartridges requires the membrane to be fully wetted; a cartridge that is insufficiently wetted will result in a false failure and require a retest or rejection of an intact filter. This development extends...
In today’s products and materials ultra-trace amounts of additives and impurities often have great influence on performance and grade.
Rapid and reliable trace detection in ever more complex and concentrated analytical samples has thus become the key objective of many laboratories entrusted with product control and quality assurance. Since its introduction the stability of the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) has presented a major limitation for ICP optical emission spectrometry (OES), as the detection power is hugely affected by the ability of the plasma to tolerate high sample...
