Find Your Reliable Solution for Water Testing

Sampling is the fundamental step of sanitary water testing. An appropriate, representative sample is critical for accurate results. Millipore offers products for collecting samples from both in-line purified water and water in the field. Filtration is a key step for maximizing recovery of microorganisms while avoiding exogenous contamination. Millipore’s filter devices are pre-sterilized and ready-to-use, eliminating time-consuming preparation steps. Additionally, all the filtration devices are designed with features that prevent exogenous contamination and facilitate uniform recovery of microorganisms. Hardware and accessories for filtration, such as membrane dispensers and pumps, as well as validation protocols, validation support, and maintenance contracts combine to provide a complete solution for all your filtration needs.

Culturing is an important step that is affected by the quality of the growth medium. Millipore produces media according to precise specifications, quality control testing each batch thoroughly to ensure optimal growth and maximum shelf life. We certify every batch of our m-Endo coliform medium and m-FC fecal coliform medium for compliance with the standards set forth in the US EPA Safe Drinking Water Act. Incubation is the final step before enumerating microorganisms. Millipore offers single and dual chamber incubators to provide dependable performance in both the lab and the field. These incubators are designed for recovery of indicator organisms (total and fecal coliforms, and fecal streptococci) as well as other microorganisms.

Achieve Optimal Water Testing Millipore understands the importance of industry regulations in developing your quality control program. We develop our products to be compliant with US EPA and European Union testing procedures to help you achieve optimal water testing. Millipore’s water testing methods are based on membrane filtration, the worldwide standard for pharmaceutical water testing. Different grades of water are required in the pharmaceutical industry depending on the intended use of the water. Water for Injection, Purified Water, and Highly Purified Water are examples of water grades described in the European and United States monographs. Water systems are particularly susceptible to the growth of tenacious biofilms of microorganisms. These biofilms continuously release microorganisms into the water, increasing the risk of out-of-specification test results. Millipore offers solutions for monitoring the number and type of microorganisms in water so you can control and assess the water quality in your manufacturing process.
