The Concentrating Pipette Select from InnovaPrep is a small automated benchtop instrument that can concentrate contaminates from large volumes of liquids for improved detection. The instrument allows for contamination screening of liquid samples up to 5L and lets users choose from six versions of interchangeable, high-flow filtered pipette tips that feature different specifications to concentrate proteins, viruses, DNA, bacteria, whole cells, fungal spores, or other particles. Recovered particles are delivered in seconds and ready for analysis using user method of choice, according to the company.
Applications for the pipette include biological and particulate contamination monitoring in the environment, as well as monitoring the integrity of various ingredients including water, intermediate products such as cell culture media, and finished products including parenteral fluids and compounded drugs.
According to InnovaPrep, when used as a front-end to rapid molecular methods for quality assurance/quality control monitoring, the instrument allows for sample-to-answer within a single shift, improving detection of trace contamination.
Mixing Technologies in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industries (Mar 2025)
March 26th 2025This white paper presents an overview of mixing technologies implemented across many of today’s highly competitive pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as new equipment designs that are increasingly being recognized as potential solutions to prevailing mixing challenges. Mixing applications falling within the broad spectrum of mass produced pharmaceutical goods and medical devices are too many and complex to discuss in detail hence this paper will touch on a few general classifications as well as a few examples within that mixing category. Phase and viscosity are used as bases for classification.
Specifying a tumble blender for pharmaceutical manufacturing (Mar 2025)
March 26th 2025Tumble blenders deliver highly accurate and repeatable mixing of powders, granules and even low-viscosity slurries. In addition, this style blender enables complete discharge and easy cleaning. This bulletin presents some design considerations for maximizing mixing efficiency in a tumble blender and selecting the most suitable features for a particular application.
