Leveraging pressure decay measurement method, the new system allows reliable pre-use testing of single-use bioreactors after integration.
The Sartocheck 4 plus Bag tester addresses increased security and quality assurance needs when single-use components are used.
The single-use BIOSTAT CultiBag STR bioreactors are intended to conveniently test the new system.
The newly developed technology of this device will be allowed to test 500lt and 1,000lt BIOSTAT CultiBag STR systems later this year.
A pre-use test of the entire bioreactor, including tubing, is carried out by the Sartocheck 4 plus Bag tester.
The device is capable of detecting typical leaks that may be caused by operator handling errors upon installation of a bioreactor.
The high accuracy of the Sartocheck 4 plus Bag tester in measuring the pressure drop, along with its patented fleece technology, provides reliability and reproducibility for testing.
