The APC M3 from Biotest is the first portable airborne particle counter to sample at a rate of 100 LPM (liters per minute), measuring one cubic meter of air in only 10 minutes. Conventional 1.0 CFM (28.3 LPM) units take more than 35 minutes to sample a cubic meter of air; 50 LPM units take 20 minutes. The APC M3’s higher flow rate reduces the time required to take samples by as much as 70 percent. The M3 is part of Biotest’s HYCON System, which provides a complete line of environmental monitoring products for cleanroom environments. The HYCON system includes APC airborne particle counters, validated RCS microbial air samplers, agar strips, surface-sampling HYCON contact slides, and compressed gas adapters for microbial sampling and particle counting of compressed gas lines.

The process filtration division of Sartorius announces the introduction of the SART System for aseptic fluid transfer into isolators or restricted access barrier systems (RABS) in aseptic manufacturing processes. The system consists of the stainless-steel SART port and the disposable Gammasart ATD connector, which is a small, disposable liquid line connector that enables the user to implement disposable concepts while maintaining safety and flexibility. The port is installed in the wall of the isolator or RABS, while the Gammasart ATD connector is the disposable interface allowing the sterile liquid transfer from an autoclaved portable tank or gamma sterilized disposable bag assembly into the contained area. Gammasart ATD is provided either presterilized as a separate item for assembly onto autoclaved portable tanks or integrated into presterilized disposable bag assemblies. From the biotech division of Sartorius, the compact arium® EDI 61215 laboratory water purification system has been developed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical laboratory applications requiring Type 2 purified water. Utilizing the benefits of dual media-RO (reverse osmosis) plus the latest EDI (electrodeionization) technology-arium EDI is capable of producing highly purified product water at a rate of up to 16 L/hr. The CultiFlask 50 disposable bioreactor, also new from Sartorius, is a versatile tool for high-throughput media/process optimization. The method relies on the cultivation of suspension cells in 50 mL vessels, which resemble the classic centrifuge tube design. The vessels are equipped with vented caps to allow for gas exchange. A PTFE membrane serves as sterile barrier and minimizes liquid loss through evaporation. Sartorius also introduces the Sterisart Universal pump, a new stainless-steel peristaltic pump for sterility testing. It can be used in cleanrooms, integrated into clean benches or installed in isolators. The closed pump chassis design eliminates the need for ventilation, which can result in the release of particles or microbes into the cleanroom or isolator environments or cause turbulence in laminar-flow areas. The pump provides programming and scanning capabilities and can be used with other sterility test systems currently available in the market. Last, the company has introduced a new comprehensive line of IF weighing platforms. The IF series offers weigh-ing capacities of 150 to 3,000 kg with resolutions of 3000d. Standard platforms are available in the following sizes: 23.6’’ x 23.6’’ to 78.7’’ x 59.1’’. Custom sizes are available upon request.
