Millipore plans to showcase a variety of water purification devices and life science filtration tools for sample preparation at Pittcon 2006
During the technical programme, Millipore will present 'Water: a key reagent in the analytical world' on Sunday, 12 March in the afternoon.
This presentation will cover how core purification technologies can be combined to achieve standards for high purity water.
The speaker also will address how water quality can improve the results for specific applications.
Additionally, Millipore scientists will present the following posters.
'Point of use technologies for the production of ultrapure water adapted to specific laboratory applications' (1850-30P) on Wednesday 15 March in the afternoon.
This describes the benefits of a central water purification unit connected to multiple point-of-use purifies that produces several types of water qualities simultaneously.
'Tracking organic contaminants throughout a water purification system' (1850-40P) on Wednesday 15 March in the afternoon.
This illustrates the effect of purification technologies, including reverse osmosis, electrodeionisation, activated carbon and dual- wavelength UV lamps on levels of organic molecules.
'Comparison of several protein precipitation methods to solid phase extraction (SPE) for the preparation of serum samples prior to LC-MS/MS' (1850-17P) on Wednesday 15 March in the afternoon.
This study compares the effectiveness of various chemical precipitation methods to SPE.
For samples that have a low drug concentration, SPE concentrates the samples better.
'The challenge of measuring low levels of total organic carbon in pure and ultrapure water' (2150-10P) on Thursday 16 March in the morning.
This presents the capabilities of an on-line TOC monitor for use in pure and ultrapure water as well as the validation of this technology.
Millipore's Bioscience division delivers complete solutions and services for pharmaceutical, academic, life science, clinical and government research laboratories.
With more than 50 years of experience, Millipore manufactures and markets several thousands of products that accelerate drug screening and improve sample preparation.
