As consumers become increasingly aware of the microplastic pollution problem, many are asking a critical question: does the pitcher filter on their kitchen counter actually protect them? Microplastic filtration — the process of physically removing microscopic plastic particles from water — has become a key consideration for health-conscious households. Yet until now, there has been […]

Choosing the right TEM window grid is an important step in achieving reliable, high-quality imaging. Researchers must often balance resolution, mechanical durability, and compatibility with existing instrumentation when making a selection. In this post, we outline the key factors to consider when selecting a TEM window grid and explain how each decision can impact performance […]

Have you ever looked at a glass of crystal-clear water and wondered what’s really in it? Beyond minerals, we now know it can contain thousands of microscopic plastic particles. They’re too small to see or taste, yet scientists can find them. The real question isn’t just if microplastics are present, but what kinds, how many, […]

We analyzed seven top bottled water brands with 8 µm and 3 µm cut-off SiMPore Filter Disks, reporting the total particle counts from one-liter water bottles—and you won’t believe the results! Read the study
