Filtrate Drain System

As part of routine membrane filtration sterility testing, the filtrate (solution that flows through the membrane filtration units) passes from the isolator’s internal environment and into a Collection Vessel stationed in the room. To facilitate this process, a Filtrate Drain System or FDS has been uniquely designed and developed by Ardien Consulting Services.

Glove Leak Test Apparatus

The Glove Leak Test Apparatus (GLTA) is an electropolished and passivated 316L stainless steel device used to leak test isolator gloves.

The GLTA is for testing gloves removed from the glove sleeves. Since the glove itself is the most likely area for leaks (and the most critical), the method for detecting leaks in gloves must be highly sensitive. The GLTA identifies leaks too small to detect by even the most sophisticated pressure leak testing systems and is capable of detecting a hole approximately 10 micrometers (0.01 mm) in diameter. Unlike other leak testing devices, the GLTA actually identifies the number and location of leaks. As it relates to the glove sleeves, these are typically tested via ammonia (most common) or a separate pressure-constant or pressure-decay leak testing device.

The GLTA package includes complete instructions (for implementation into a Standard Operating Procedure), pressure gauge, quick-disconnect fittings, silicone tubing and silicone O-rings.

Non-Viable Particulate Air Monitoring Adapters for SKAN Isolators

As part of routine compendial sterility testing, Non-Viable Particulate (NVP) air sampling is often performed.

The standard connection from SKAN is open directly to the room; there is no inline protection from the room and the Grade A internal isolator environment. These NVP adapters provide a sanitary connection to the NVP port on the isolator and allow it to be capped off when not in use.

Customized Product Racks

These electropolished and passivated 316L stainless steel racks are designed to minimize surface-to-surface contact locations in order to maximize exposure of the decontamination agent.

Thermocouple Port with Sanitary Fitting

This heavy-duty 316L stainless steel port allows for the introduction of approximately 40 thermocouples into an isolator or similar enclosure equipped with a sanitary fitting. Customized removable silicone gaskets seal the thermocouples to prevent leakage.
