Merck

Life science is a vast field. It can mean anything from complex analysis to routine lab work or production. Each poses unique demands, requires distinct solutions, and is governed by different regulations. When looking for products, you have to consider your application, your target and, of course, your budget.

To simplify your search, our extensive portfolio of Inorganics and Solvents is divided into three grades: EMSURE®, EMPARTA® and EMPLURA®. Each quality grade is offered in a variety of volumes, packaging materials, and with different documentation packages. Now, you won’t have to search for the right solution for your application. All you have to do is choose.

The life science business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany brings together the world-class products and services, innovative capabilities and exceptional talent of EMD Millipore and Sigma-Aldrich to create a global leader in the life science industry. We aim to solve the toughest problems in the industry and environments by collaborating with the global scientific community. We provide scientists and environmental experts with best-in-class lab materials, technologies and services. We are dedicated to making water, food and environmental analysis simpler, faster and more successful.

MC-Media Pad® tests are designed for convenient and reliable testing of E.coli, Yeast and Mold, Coliform, Staphylococcus Aureus, or aerobic microbial contamination in food and beverage products. MC-Media Pad® for testing of coliform, aerobic microbial contamination and yeast & mold is now available in the US and Canada.

The pads have a multilayer structure, which allows the sample to diffuse into the pad evenly without intervention. The use of specific indicators and chromogenic media means that the read-out is clear and rapid.

Storage

These pads have a long shelf life, are stackable and are much smaller than standard agar plates:

• Shelf life of up to 3 years
• Reduced storage space required
• Storage between 2 – 15°C
• Opened packages can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks
• Use straight out of the fridge – no need to wait for equilibration
• Use less space in the incubator

The Spectroquant® Move 100 is all you need for rapid, reliable water analysis when working on site. That’s because this small, portable colorimeter covers every important parameter of drinking and waste water analysis in one instrument. With a choice of over 100 pre-programmed and 35 user-defined methods, you will always have the most suitable test for accurate results – on the spot. This means no delays, no risk of sample deterioration, and no need for additional instruments.

Optimize your workflow – Take control of your contamination risks

A design to eliminate sources of contamination:

• Easy to prevent biofilms: The new EZ-Fit™ Manifold design eliminates sources of contamination that can cause false positive results: all internal areas are accessible and can be cleaned efficiently and all components can be autoclaved
• Each component can be removed quickly and easily without any additional tools
• A check valve is integrated into the tubing connection to prevent liquid back-flow from the vacuum system
• The 2-way valve prevents the user from accidentally touching the filtration head while opening or closing it

Ease of use:

• A low height design increases comfort, especially when used in laminar flow hoods
• The tubing to the vacuum source can be connected to either side of the manifold
• The total weight is only 2.9 kg for a 3-place manifold! But nonetheless the stability of the manifold on non-flat working areas is ensured by a unique system
• The valves are large and easy to operate
• A new filtration head for Microfil® disposable funnels and membranes improves ease-of-use, reduces maintenance and limits the risk of contamination. A continuous rim allows easy and safe membrane transfer with forceps (reducing the risk of touching the membrane filtration area) and membrane removal with one hand
• Filtration heads are available which accept N°8 stoppers. These fit our devices such as Monitor 55-Plus™ and EZ-Fit® Filtration Unit. One filtration head is also compatible with stainless steel and glass funnels.

The freshness of honey is determined by measuring its hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content. HMF is an organic compound that arises from the dehydration of fructose, e.g. when honey is heated for easier filling.

Merck’s Membrane filtration technique complies with international standard such as standard methods for Examination of Water and Waste water, US EPA, and EU testing procedures for drinking water or other filtration testing it’s simple: the test sample is filtered through a microporous membrane, allowing the retention of microbial contamination on top of the membrane. Rinsing removes residues that might inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Once the sample is filtered, nutrient medium is added to promote growth of microorganisms for recovery. For testing non-filterable samples, Merck offers a large selection of culture media of the high quality.
