Hollingsworth & Vose (H&V) has entered into an agreement with I.W. Tremont for the use of H&V Trupor in I.W. Tremont’s LabExact products, and other analytical products, including High Performance Liquid Chromatography (“HPLC”) applications. Trupor is a novel microporous filter media solution available in several industry standard polymer families – this agreement covers PES-PBT composites. H&V Trupor enables best-in-class flow rates with the reliability of conventional microfiltration membranes.
“Microfiltration is critical across industries, making water cleaner, bioprocess products safer, semiconductor products cheaper and industrial processes run longer,” says Fred Lybrand H&V’s Global Marketing Director for Process Liquids. “We are pleased to partner with I.W. Tremont to bring H&V Trupor to a broader audience.”
H&V Trupor enables enhanced flow compared to traditional membranes, improving the ability to filter novel fluid streams. Its composite structure and superior pore size uniformity deliver consistent and reliable results in the key performance characteristics required by the analytical and diagnostic markets. In most cases, the thin formation of this media offers interchangeable equivalency to its cast film counterparts while delivering performance enhancement both to existing and new process streams.
“Tremont will leverage our strong position in general laboratory consumables, life sciences and medical diagnostics to explore opportunities for the H&V Trupor media,” says Jim Averso, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at I.W. Tremont. “We feel we will find significant application in our core markets.”
Offered in industry standard materials via the I.W. Tremont relationship, H&V Trupor will be available in formats consistent with laboratory consumables such as membrane flats and within structured devices. The significantly lower back pressure improves device design in syringe and inline filter devices used in analytical sample preparation applications.
“H&V is in a great situation to have two long term customers focused on Trupor - with Superior Felt and Filtration focused on the Nylon grades of Trupor and I.W. Tremont’s use of the PES-PBT material in LabExact®. We are excited about the future of this product.” Lybrand continued, “It is a real compliment to the work by the technology and operations teams to support this product and this industry.”
