Weld-free coiled tubing in lengths exceeding 1,000 m
This company has developed a method enabling the production of stainless coiled tubing (photo) in lengths exceeding 1,000 m from a single 125-kg hollow with zero welds. The new production technique is a combination of sophisticated pilgering, precision drawing and…
A single-use, stirred-tank bioreactor for scalable cell culture
The Allegro STR 1000 single-use, 1,000-L stirred-tank reactor (photo) provides scalable cell culture in a simple-to-install package. Installation is largely automated and requires minimal operator interaction, reducing the potential for error or damage. The cubical design and large bottom-driven impeller…
Faster fluid management for biopharmacuticals
Lynx CDR connectors allow efficient fluid management through sterile connection, disconnection and reconnection, providing an alternative to the more time-consuming tube-welding processes and costly manifold configurations traditionally used in upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical processing. The connectors provide six sterile connections,…
Portable balances that can be used in vapor-filled atmospheres
The EK-EP Series of intrinsically safe compact balances (photo) are approved for both U.S. and Canada for Zone 0 or Division 1 atmospheres where vapors are constantly present and could be accidently ignited. The Series’ models have capacities of 300…
