Pall Enters Laboratory Water Market With 
New Cascada Lab Water System

EAST HILLS, NY (02/28/05) -- Purified water is an essential and growing requirement of research and diagnostic laboratories. Water quality can wreak havoc on sensitive equipment and test results. To meet demanding life science and analytical testing requirements, Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL), the global leader in filtration, separations and purification, announced that it is bringing its water purification expertise to the laboratory market with the introduction of the Pall Cascada(TM) Lab Water Systems. The Cascada point-of-use system provides optimum water quality to support diverse laboratory needs from the most critical, sensitive applications through general-purpose use.

"As the lab market becomes increasingly complex and demanding, customers need trustworthy providers that are deeply entrenched in water purification," says Ken L. Harris, President Pall Life Sciences New Technology. "Pall's entry into this marketplace combines more than a half century experience in the development of the most advanced water purification technologies used by a host of industries worldwide with our in-depth, extensive knowledge and understanding of the diverse application needs of the laboratory markets we serve."

The Cascada System enables laboratories to achieve the highest purity water through a series of separation and purification steps in a single box on demand. Four polishing systems, with customized configurations to meet a wide range of sensitive application requires for high quality ultrapure water, are available. A pretreatment system is also available to protect and extend the life of the polishers, which is particularly important in cases where there is poor feedwater quality.

Expanding Market with Unmet Needs

"The lab water market continues to expand and rapid technological growth in regions of the world, such as Asia and Latin America, still have many unmet needs. We are confident we will be one of the leading providers of point-of-use laboratory water systems in the near future," says Mr. Harris.

The global laboratory water systems and consumables market is estimated at $250 million dollars, growing at a rate of about 8 percent annually.

"Pall selected the best available technology for our new system to monitor and protect the quality of the output water at the least cost of ownership for academic, clinical, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical research laboratories," Mr. Harris adds. "The new Cascada system is merely the tip of the iceberg for Pall in this marketplace."

The Company plans to extend its dominant position in water purification by utilizing its proprietary technologies to continue to refine systems and lead in the growing, changing and ever more demanding laboratory water market.
