Sterisart^®キャニスター：無菌試験における信頼性と簡便性

Easy handling and user safety:Needle designed with protective shield

The quality of the needle plays a decisive role in determining the ease and safety of piercing closures on product containers and rinsing liquid bags, as well as of transferring culture media into the canisters:

Our patented metal dual-needle spike is easier to use due to its built-in sterile vent filter

A wide choice of versions with user-friendly adapters is available for the most common sample containers

The protective shield protects the user from injury

No fear of foaming:Air filter with safety clearance

An air filter is essential for sterile venting. But if it comes in contact with the culture medium, it can easily become clogged. At the same time, it can pose a risk to your sample as a result of microbial growth.

That’s why we designed it with a safety clearance of 1 cm to effectively protect the filter from coming in contact with the culture medium, even if foaming or the slightest vibration occurs.

Optimize your workflow thanks to fewer manual steps:Just one primary package for all components

Working in an isolator calls for the highest dexterity and concentration – every single extra manual step can add up to stress.

Instead of being sealed in a separate, difficult-to-open package, the easy-to-handle yellow plugs for closing the canisters are right where you need them: in extra pockets directly inside the primary packaging. This facilitiates your workflow and lets you stay focused on your core tasks.

PackagingStart your test right away, without any initial rinsing stepGamma-sterilized and gas-impermeable primary packaging

With standard gas-permeable primary packaging, you first have to perform a complicated rinsing procedure inside an isolator to flush out residual gas from sterility test units before you can even begin testing.

Our gamma-sterilized and gas-impermeable primary packaging entirely eliminates the need for this rinsing step. You can begin right away with sterility testing, saving steps and rinsing liquid.

Get a better grip:Large, pre-installed filter caps

The extra-large, grip-optimized filter caps are directly attached to the vent filters. You'll find this practical – and not only that. The caps connected by a band to the vent filters cannot fall off or touch any surfaces of the isolator so they are safe from contamination.

Process reliability and convenience:Product traceability thanks to article ID codes

The article ID codes consisting of the lot number, individual number and product number, permit 100% traceability and identification of the materials.

Reduce foaming and the risk of microbial growth:Optimized canister design with anti-foaming inlet flow

No liquid can splash onto the membrane thanks to the anti-foaming inlet flow design. Instead, liquid flows along the interior of the canister, preventing foaming. This along with a safety clearance of 1 cm, or over 2 1/2", from the air filter provides double protection in preventing this sterile filter from coming in contact with culture medium. As a result, this minimizes the risk of microbial growth.

Work with peace of mind knowing you can't go wrong:Two different color-coded tube clamps for clear identification

Making responsible decisions in final quality control for release of safe products can be highly stressful because every step has consequences – especially when you cannot tell one canister apart from the other. You can readily confuse these in busy-day routines.

The two different color-coded clamps on Sterisart^® tubing eliminate the risk of confusion, making it easy for you to identify and fill the canisters with the correct media. Now you can work confidently without worrying about such risks.

Double safety for you and your sample:Sterisart^® Septum for aseptic sampling and injection

A critical step in sterility testing is sampling from or injecting into a canister. You usually do this by piercing a tube. This conventional method is not only complicated and involves the hazard of injury. It also increases the risk of false-positive results as this compromises the integrity of the closed system. There is a better and safer way: septum closures.

The septum technology of our Sterisart^® units has been proving its effectiveness for more than ten years as the method of choice for aseptic transfer of liquids. Your sample will remain safely protected against contamination, as the septum ensures a sterile barrier. At the same time, the simple piercing mechanism minimizes your risk of puncture injuries.
