Pall (Cytiva) : What floorutions for filtering, separating and purifying in life sciences?

Pall, a Cytiva brand, is a global benchmark in filtration, separation and purification for modern laboratories. From R&D to quality control across pharma/biotech, food & beverage and environmental testing, it safeguards samples and processes. Dutscher supplies its benchtop solutions such as Acrodisc syringe filters, Supor membranes, AcroPak capsules, Acroprep filter plates and microbiology devices, enabling reproducible, compliant analyses.

A pioneer in filtration since 1946

Founded in 1946 by Dr David B. Pall, the company first revolutionised microfiltration for aerospace before establishing its high-performance membranes as a benchmark in healthcare and research. From its historic headquarters in Port Washington (NY, USA), it has expanded into academic laboratories, QC departments and pharmaceutical manufacturing units. In 2015, Pall joined Danaher. Its Life Sciences business is now operated within Cytiva, offering a coherent portfolio for sample preparation, clarification and sterile filtration of liquids and gases. The common thread throughout: documented quality, process safety, regulatory compliance and local technical support for laboratory teams.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

In the laboratory, Pall excels in sample preparation for HPLC/UPLC and instrumental analysis. The Acrodisc range covers the key sample matrices: Supor (PES) for aqueous media, PTFE for aggressive solvents, GHP/GH Polypro with broad compatibility, and nylon for amide-containing solutions. Low extractables, low protein binding and high flow rates deliver clean chromatograms and robust runs. For larger volumes, AcroPak capsules enable seamless scale-up while keeping the same membrane. Nanosep/Microsep devices streamline concentration, buffer exchange and desalting by centrifugation, without heating the sample.

In water and beverage microbiology, the brand offers cellulose ester membranes, ready-to-use MicroFunnel funnels and Sentino pumps/dispensers for a fast, aseptic and traceable workflow.

Pall stands out for rigorous quality control (ISO 9001, Life Sciences sites operated under ISO 13485 depending on product), lot-by-lot traceability, integrity testing and comprehensive technical documentation (chemical compatibility, extractables). Together with Cytiva, the brand rolls out programmes of sustainability across its sites and aligns with regulatory frameworks. The result: reliable consumables, GLP/GMP-compatible, designed for the realities of the bench as well as the demands of QC.
