Accessories for the MD8


Ultramicro balances Cubis®
 
 

 

New Calibration unit The user himself can calibrate the MD 8 airscan® and AirPort MD8 directly on the job by means of the calibration unit. Alternatively, a maintenance agreement can be signed. Within the scope of the contractual services, Sartorius technicians will carry out a calibration of the MD8 at regular intervals. Calibration is absolutely necessary above all within the scope of validation steps, for which it is important, that the shown air flow rate (desired value at the MD8) corresponds to the actual air amount (actual value at the calibration device). The calibration unit is supplied complete with battery charger| power supply unit (specific for the country in which it is used), filter holder, connectors set and connection tube (PVC, 2m).
Tubing and Connectors Set
If the disposable gelatine filter unit is not placed directly at the MD8 airscan®, but in a distance from it, a flexible plastic hose (2m or 5m), a connectors set and, if not available, a holder (tripod 16970, double socket 16976, clamp 17037) are necessary for the connection between filter and MD8 airscan®. The autoclavable silicone hose is used instead of the flexible plastic hose, if the MD8 airscan® has to be used in sterile rooms, operating rooms, isolators, blow-fill-seal machines, etc. With this hose attached to the air outlet connector (exhaust), the waste air can be led off into an other room.
Aluminium Stack
It consists of a middle part, 10 numbered filter holders and 2 end caps. The stack is first sterilized (by 180°C dry heat, 2 h), and then equipped with the filters under sterile conditions (LF-clean bench). The prepared filter holders are put on a side of the middle part. After removing the sample, the inserted filter holders are put on the other side of the middle part, so that used and not-used filter holders are separated from each other.
Accessories for isolator application
For the monitoring of isolators with MD8 airscan® we recommend to use stainless steel accessories such as adapters 17016 (DN25) or 17030 (DN30), clamps 17033 for sanitary flanges, connector 17659---001 or 17659---003 (for tri clamp) and the filter holder for gelatine filter disposables 17801---001 as well as a Sartofluor capsule with PTFE membrane and sanitary flange inlet and outlet, for sterile air filtration inserted between the MD8 airscan® and isolator. This construction makes it possible that the MD8 air sampler remains outside the critical work area (the barrier function between different clean room classes is maintained).
Accessories for remote control function
Accessories for remote control function
a) Via a PC (with Microsoft 95/98 or higher) with MD8 airscan® dialog system and cable connection to the MD8 airscan® (1ZE---0004) b) Via a PLC interface unit (1ZE---0003)
Gelatine membrane filter, 80 mm, sterile, pack of 50 for use with stack
Gelatine membrane filters are still available as 80 mm filter discs, suitable for the filter holder supplied with the MD8 airscan®. The filters are sterile supplied, but the filter holders have to be sterilized by dry heat (180°C, 2h) and then equipped with the filters under sterile conditions. For performing routine check-ups, a stack is recommended in this case.
Further consumables for air monitoring
If gelatine filters cannot be used (high humidity, high temperature), it is recommended to use cellulose nitrate filters.
