FlexAct BT for Integrity Testing of Single-Use Bags
The FlexAct BT from Sartorius Stedim Biotech is a point-of-use, leak detection system for single-use bags.
FlexAct BT point-of-use leak test-system from Sartorius Stedim Biotech enables users to test for leaks while handling single-use bags. Users can implement the ASTM F2095-01 pressure decay test for Flexboy 2D bags at the point of use. The system features the Sartocheck 4 Plus bag tester and a set of two plate holders that perform 100% pressure decay testing. Besides protecting the bag from mechanical stress, the holders also enable the test to be performed with a very small inflation volume at high pressure. The leak test system is validated to detect 30 μm leaks across the entire range of Flexboy 2D bag volumes-from 50 mL to 50 L-in less than 10 minutes. A MultiUnit test option can be used to test two single-use bags in parallel as well as to integrity-test filters.
