Pall enters laboratory water market
Purified water is an essential and growing requirement of research and diagnostic laboratories, as water quality can wreak havoc on sensitive equipment and test results. To meet demanding life science and analytical testing requirements, Pall Corporation is bringing its water purification expertise to the laboratory market with the introduction of the Pall Cascada Lab Water Systems.
Purified water is an essential and growing requirement of research and diagnostic laboratories, as water quality can wreak havoc on sensitive equipment and test results. To meet demanding life science and analytical testing requirements, Pall Corporation is bringing its water purification expertise to the laboratory market with the introduction of the Pall Cascada Lab Water Systems.
The Cascada point-of-use system provides optimum water quality to support diverse laboratory needs from the most critical, sensitive applications through general purpose use, and enables laboratories to achieve the highest purity water, through to a series of separation and purification steps in a single box on demand.
Four polishing systems with customized configurations to meet a wide range of sensitive application requirements for high quality ultrapure water, and a pretreatment system to protect and extend the life of the polishers, which is particularly important in cases where there is poor feedwater quality, are also available.
'As the lab market becomes increasingly complex and demanding, customers need trustworthy providers that are deeply entrenched in water purification,' said Ken L. Harris, president, Pall Life Sciences New Technology. 'Pall's entry into this marketplace combines more than a half century of experience in the development of the most advanced water purification technologies, with our in-depth, extensive knowledge and understanding of the diverse application needs of the laboratory markets we serve.'
The global laboratory water systems and consumables market is estimated at $250m dollars, and is growing at an annual rate of about 8%. Pall plans to extend its dominant position in water purification by utilizing its proprietary technologies to refine systems and lead in the growing, changing and ever more demanding laboratory water market.
Harris added: 'The lab water market continues to expand, and rapid technological growth in regions of the world such as Asia and Latin America still have many unmet needs. The new Cascada system is merely the tip of the iceberg.'
