Merck, CDUFBC001, Biopak® C Clinical Cartridge

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 bacteria and bacterial by-products such as ALP, to provide optimum-quality water for use in ALP-sensitive immunoassays.
Features and Benefits
Removes ALP from water (Ensures bacteria levels below 10 cfu/mL (typically 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.
