Biopak® C Clinical Cartridge

Description

• General description: The Biopak® C unit is an easy-to-install, disposable ultrafiltration cartridge that provides a final, in-line purification step for immunoassay and clinical chemistry analyzers. The cartridge efficiently removes bacteria and bacterial by-products, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), from analyzer feed water, which is used to dilute reagents, make blanks, and rinse tubing and probes. This results in a more stable baseline and better assay reliability. The Biopak® C ultrafiltration cartridge is composed of polysulfone hollow fibers. This membrane optimizes the rejection of bacterial ALP and bacteria while maintaining a high flow rate.
• Application: When fed with high-quality pure water, the Biopak® C ultrafiltration cartridge efficiently removes bacterial by-products such as ALP, to provide optimum-quality water for use in ALP-sensitive immunoassays.
• Features and Benefits: Produces ALP-free water (< 1 μUnits/μL).Ensures bacteria levels below 10 cfu/mL (typically < 1 cfu/mL).Designed to remove endotoxins, and to perform a pyrogen log reduction value superior or equal to 4, for pyrogen feed concentration between 1000 and 10 000 EU/mL, and a nuclease reduction from 1 μg/mL to less than 0.01 ng/mL at 1 bar feed water pressure.Supports stable assay baselines, resulting in better assay reliability.Reduces the need for frequent analyzer calibration.Eliminates the need for frequent analyzer decontamination that results in costly downtime.Includes: Self-adhesive label.Replaced every 6 months for optimal results.
• Components: Polysulfone hollow fibers for ALP and bacteria removal
