Can I get the conductivity measurement for Distilled Water?

We do not test the “finished” product for conductivity as part of the QC testing specifications. However, conductivity testing is done in our water system on a daily basis. This is the water system used in the manufacture of cell culture media and reagents made at the Gibco site.

Conductivity testing is performed according to USP specifications. The USP specification is that conductivity be “not more than 1 micromho/cm”.

What are the benefits of the Gibco PE film?

The commercially available film is a very clear, multi-layered, single web film with a polyethylene contact surface that can be made into a wide range of bag sizes (250 mL to 1,000L). In addition, the film is a market leader with exceptional gas barrier properties and very low extractable and leachable results.
