Description

General description

The NovaSeptum^® GO TC Holder is a stainless steel sampling holder designed to connect NovaSeptum® GO sterile sampling units to process vessels and piping through a standard Tri-Clamp (TC) connection. For an optimized aseptic setup, use the holder together with a NovAseptic^® connector.

Designed for use with the NovaSeptum^® GO sterile, closed sampling system, the holder enables aseptic fluid sampling from bioreactors, tanks, and process lines while helping maintain process sterility and sample integrity.

Configured for GO sampling units with a 2.0 mm needle, the holder features nine sampling ports, allowing sequential sample collection from the same process connection point. The holder is compatible with the full range of NovaSeptum^® GO Sampling units, including High-Purity bags, Accurate Volume syringes, bottles, conical tubes and transfer units, as well as NovaSeptum^® bag racks and NovAseptic^® connectors.

Application

• Sterile and aseptic sampling in biopharmaceutical upstream and downstream manufacturing
• Sampling from bioreactors, mixing vessels, and storage tanks with TC 64 mm connections
• Sterility testing, bioburden testing, and endotoxin testing sample collection
• Chemical analysis and pH analysis in aseptic processes
• Multi-use process environments requiring closed, contamination-free sampling
• Processes where product hold-up minimization and sample representativeness are critical

Features and Benefits

• 9-port TC 64 mm (2 in.) Tri-Clamp connection: Integrates directly into standard TC 64 mm process fittings; no additional adapter required
• Compatible with GO trigger: improved ergonomy with offset double thumbpad
• 316L stainless steel (EN 1.4435) construction: Meets pharmaceutical-grade material requirements; fully compatible with standard CIP/SIP regimes
• Electropolished + glass-blasted surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.5 μm): Minimizes microbial harborage sites, supports cleaning validation
• Compatible with NovAseptic^® NAC connectors: Provides installation flexibility across global process equipment standards
• Autoclavable and SIP compatible: Supports standard sterilization workflows without requiring replacement of the holder hardware
• Design pressure: 6 bar | Design temperature: 4°C to +150°C: Suitable for a wide range of process conditions
• GO-series design: Part of the NovaSeptum^® GO system, incorporating enhanced security features including a locking ring to prevent accidental actuation and locking tag to track first actuation.
• Certificate of quality included: Supports GMP documentation requirements and lot traceability
• Compatible with NovaSeptum^® bag rack A004, A014-M, A009-M and A012-M (used with conversion kit ET-BAGRACK-KIT): Improve NovaSeptum^® Sampling units organization during aseptic fluid sampling operations

Packaging

All open ends on the NovaSeptum^®GO holders are protected with plastic covers. The holder is pre-assembled and packed in a closed box to reduce exposure

Preparation Note

2x SIP cycles up to 135°C for 30min or 4x SIP cycles up to 145°C for 30min.
