Millipore Test – Ecoclean India
What is Millipore Testing?
Millipore Testing is a commonly used testing to determine the dirt/particles remaining on the part after cleaning. This test is also known as the Gravimetry test which measures the size and quantity of particulates. The testing set-up contains special filters to collect residual contaminants, Oven for drying the filter, Weighing scale, Millipore Test Flask, and testing media etc.
Millipore Testing widely utilizes quantitative method to determine the particulate contamination after cleaning. This method analyses the cleanliness of a cleaned part, by measuring the dirt remaining on the component. It also helps in adhering to the cleanliness standards under VDA 19 and ISO 16232.
Gravimetry method, famously known as Millipore test:
Gravimetric (also referred to as Millipore) Testing is one method by which a manufacturer can have their parts checked for cleanliness. It is an objective, scientific method that helps to take the guesswork out of meeting cleanliness specifications. Using a flushing solvent and filters, the amount of contamination on a part can be weighed to produce an accurate account of how much contaminant is left after the production washing of the part.
Also called a solvent extraction test, the particles are flushed off the part and collect on the filter membrane paper can be analysed microscopically using automated scanning particle counters such as a Leica to characterize the size and amount of particulate collected. ISO 1632-10 is one such spec which determines part cleanliness based on particulate size and quantity.

FAQs:
1. What is Millipore Testing?
Millipore Testing is a quantitative method used to measure the level of endotoxin contamination on a surface. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides found on the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria and can cause health problems like fever, chills, and shock. This test ensures products that come into contact with humans or animals are free of endotoxins.
2. Also referred to as Gravimetric Testing, Millipore Testing helps determine:
- The amount of dirt or particles remaining on a part after cleaning.
- The size and quantity of contaminants.
3. Why is Millipore Testing Important?
Millipore Testing helps manufacturers adhere to cleanliness standards set by VDA 19 and ISO 16232. This ensures components are clean and free from contamination that could impact product function or user safety.
