Millipore Corporation
Merck Millipore was the brand used by Merck KGaA, Merck Group's (not US-based Merck & Co.) global life science business until 2015 when the company re-branded. It was formed when Merck acquired the Millipore Corporation in 2010. Merck is a supplier to the life science industry. The Millipore Corporation was founded in 1954, and listed among the S&P 500 since the early 1990s, as an international biosciences company which makes micrometre, micrometer pore-size filters and tests. In 2015, Merck acquired Sigma-Aldrich and merged it with Merck Millipore. In the United States and Canada, the life science business is now known as Sigma-Aldrich, MilliporeSigma. History Founding In the early 1950s, Lovell Corporation won a contract from the U.S. Army Chemical Engineers to develop and manufacture membrane filtering devices used to separate the molecular components of fluid samples. When the membranes were declassified in 1953 and offered for commercial use, Jack Bush, son of Vannevar Bush ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nucleopore Filter
A nuclepore filter (brand name Nuclepore from Whatman, part of GE Healthcare) is a kind of filter in which holes a few micrometres in size have been created in a plastic (e.g. polycarbonate) membrane. These filters are generally created by exposing the membrane to radiation that weakens the plastic and creates specific areas that can be removed by dousing the membrane in acid (or other chemicals). The techniqueR. L. Fleischer, P. Buford Price, and Robert M. Walker (1975) ''Nuclear Tracks in Solids'' (U. California Press, Berkeley). and patent were developed by Robert L. Fleischer, P. Buford Price, and Robert M. Walker as an outgrowth of their research on radiation effects in solids, with a special focus on materials exposed to energetic particles in space. The technique allows for creating uniform holes of any desired diameter to allow even a virus to be filtered. The most common use of Nuclepore filters is in microbiology where they are used to trap cells while removing all othe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
