Sample Pilots
Sample Pilot SP100
The original Sample Pilot, the SP100, used to safely collect samples from your sterile sources.
The Sample Pilot design has been proven in the labs of many biopharmaceutical leaders as an effective autosampling solution in cell culture and microbial applications.
Designed specifically to maintain bioreactor sterility while collecting representative samples for automated analysis, the SP100 is used in fixed reactor applications where the bioreactors are sterilized in place. After collecting and delivering the sample, the SP100 is flushed, sanitized and dried in preparation for the next sample. The SP100 comes in 10 mL and 55 mL dispense models.
Sample Pilot SP200
Scaled down from the highly successful SP100, the SP200 is used to safely collect samples from your sterile sources.
The Sample Pilot design is designed for development scale and single-use bioreactor applications. SP200 units have been deployed at leading biopharmaceutical companies in their development and pilot scale laboratories.
Used in cell culture and downstream applications, SP200 units have taken thousands of samples in these labs. Following a process similar to the SP100, after collecting and delivering the sample, the SP200 is flushed, sanitized and dried in preparation for the next sample.
The SP200 is compact, requiring little space on a bioreactor (~2-inch radius). Installation is straightforward, with multiple port connection options allowing integration directly into a Single Use Bioreactor bag by insertion through common probe sheath adaptor, or insertion through a dip tube into a bench top development bioreactor. The SP200 can be used on bioreactors of all scales and can be adapted to all ports and fitting types. The SP200 comes in 1 mL and 5 mL dispense models.
Filter Assemblies
Prior to each autoclave cycle, the Sample Pilot Sanitant Supply Filter assembly and the Sample Pilot Purge Gas Filter assembly are installed on each Sample Pilot. These filters ensure that all solutions and gases that pass through the Sample Pilot are contaminate-free increasing the sterility assurance of the overall system.
