Pall Corporation Acquires Exclusive License To Manufacture, Market And Sell New Technology From SPF Innovations, LLC

East Hills, N.Y. (March 12, 2009) -- Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL) and SPF Innovations LLC (Watertown, Massachusetts) have announced that Pall acquired an exclusive license to manufacture, market and sell SPF™ Technology for biopharmaceutical applications.

Single Pass TFF (SPTFF) is a new form of tangential-flow filtration (TFF) delivering high-conversion separations without a recirculation loop, providing the performance of TFF with the simplicity of direct-flow filtration. SPTFF delivers multiple economic benefits, important operational benefits and new capabilities such as increased yield, lower hold-up volume, very high concentration factors and low exposure time. SPTFF is integrated easily with other downstream processes, such as chromatography and virus removal.

Pall will preview SPTFF technology at INTERPHEX 2009, the world’s largest pharmaceutical conference and exhibition, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, March 17-19.

SPTFF technology is protected by U.S. Patent No. 7,384,549.
