FILTR Lab – Beverly, United States
ISO/IEC 17025-accredited and purpose-built, the FILTR Lab delivers fast, reliable product validation and application testing for Food & Beverage, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Micro-electronics, and Industrial markets. From porometry and flow vs ΔP to biological retention in a BSL-2 environment, it provides the high-confidence data and the insights customers need to solve operational challenges, optimize performance, and drive innovation.
FILTR Lab: What We Can Test
From porous media characterization to full biological retention, the FILTR Lab supports process development and R&D
to match customer needs with the correct Global Filter product.
Porous Media Characterization
- Porometry (pore size & distribution)
- Minimum wetting surface tension
- Thickness & basis weight
- Bulk porosity
- Water & air permeability
Ideal for media selection and vendor comparisons.
Filtration Applications Testing
- Service life / dirt capacity
- Efficiency (ASTM F795 guidance)
- Flow vs ΔP curves
Aids in filter selection and sizing.
Materials & Analytical
- Particle size distribution
- Polymer/unknown identification
- TOC (extractables/leachables)
- Digital microscopy
- pH & conductivity
Validate cleanliness & compatibility.
Biological Filtration
- Four industry standard microorganisms for validating 0.1, 0.2, 0.45, and 0.65 micron filters
- Additional Customer/Market specific organisms, such as beer and fruit juice spoilage organisms
- Potential for other organisms
Filter validation and microorganism log retention value (LRV) vs integrity release values.
Biological Assays
- Endotoxin per USP <85>
- Custom protocols on request
Support WFI and regulated applications.
Customized Solutions
- Customer‑specific test design
- Filtration product assessment
- Tailored reporting
Engage the team to scope bespoke studies.
ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation
Accredited applications lab enabling defensible test data for validation and customer trials.
Biosafety Level 2 (BSL‑2)
Certified environment and controls for moderate‑risk organisms; appropriate for filtration challenge testing.
Quality, Data & Safety
- Quality Management System
- Laboratory Information Management System
- OSHA‑compliant EHS program; EPA registered for hazardous waste
