Mar Cor Purification, owned by Cantel Medical Corp., is a company that consists of 3 separate business units: Medical Water, Life Science Water and BioScience products consisting of the Hollow Fiber filters, cold sterilants and Dry Fog equipment. We manufacture in an FDA-certified facility and are current with all the FDA regulations, GMP and validation practices.
Mar Cor’s BioScience products group specializes in supplying cold sterilant sporicides to disinfect surfaces in Bio-pharma cleanrooms according to USP. We developed the highly regarded Minncare Dry Fog system, which is now validated by many pharmaceutical companies worldwide as aerosolized broad spectrum sporicide bio-decontamination system for cleanrooms and production areas. The same technology is used to disinfect smaller spaces and enclosures.
Mar Cor Purification also markets products for the disinfection of water purification systems. Fiberflo hollow fiber filters are utilized in microparticle washing and coating operations for used in drug diagnostic applications.

Canty offers a unique vision based approach for non-contact cake detection and level measurement designed for Nutsche Filters. Cake detection is the determination of the transition from liquid slurry to solids “cake”. It’s critical to determine this transition in a timely manner to avoid cracking in the cake layer and product agglomeration.
Combining the latest in Ethernet technology with Canty fused glass, lighting and CANTYVISIONCLIENT™ software, the INFLOW™ Process Particle Analyzer provides real time particle size and shape analysis. Various models measure 0.7 micron - 20,000 micron particles under process conditions. In addition to the above, Canty also provides vision based equipment for Centrifuges, Spray Dryers, Crystallisers, etc. within the Pharmaceutical industry.
Canty is a world leader in the manufacture and supply of vision based process instrumentation with facilities in Buffalo, USA and Dublin, Ireland. This includes vessel sight glasses & lighting, process vessel and high temperature cameras, and vision based particle sizing equipment.
Decades of experience in sterile production has led PSL, the host of the event, to develop unique filtration solutions for microsphere formulation, from small scale processes up to production.
PSL will be showcasing their large scale Microsphere Scalper and Refiner designed for particle classification, filtration and drying of microsphere in an aseptic environment. PSL will also held a Process Development and Technology Scale-Up workshop showing new technologies refined to developed new microsphere products and transfer the process to larger scale.
PSL is an international manufacturer of filtration, drying and complete containment solutions. We have been supporting pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, chemical, speciality chemical and laboratory industries since 1989.
