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
