Merck

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.

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.

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.

A new filtration head for Microfil® disposable funnels and membranes improves ease-of-use, reduces maintenance and limits the risk of contamination. Filtration heads are available which accept N°8 stoppers. These fit our devices such as Monitor 55-Plus™ and EZ-Fit® Filtration Unit.

Spectroquant® Move 100 is made for rapid, reliable on-site water analysis. No delays, no risk of sample deterioration and no need for additional instruments. The compact, portable colorimeter covers every important parameter of drinking water and wastewater analysis in one instrument.

MILLIPLEX® portfolio of immunoassays from Merck is the largest portfolio of multiplex biomarker assays, based on Luminex® xMAP® technology, offering you high-quality results, so that you can do your best work while saving time, labor and cost.

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.
