Overview
The single-use biocontainer bags and assemblies for the Xcellerex™ magnetic mixer are constructed with Allegro™ film for its fluid contact surface and offer unique, user-centered design elements aimed to bolster durability and improve ease-of-use.
This evolution in design results in enhanced safeguards, providing added protection throughout shipping, storage, and operation. Installation of the single-use system uses an air inflation mechanism, activated at the press of a button. This culminates in an economized and streamlined installation procedure, reducing risk of improper installation, defects, and leaks.
- Rigid folding base surrounds outside of biocontainer film to protect against defects and leaks during shipping, storage, and operation
- Built-in carrying case with handles to improve ergonomics and simplify installation
- Sturdy supportive base under the biocontainer during operation for added durability
- Hard plastic top hat component covers impeller blades during shipping and storage to prevent rubbing against inside layer of biocontainer film, preventing damage
- Installation and deployment using air inflation rather than traditional hoist systems
- Standard and customized options available
The biocontainer bag is constructed with Allegro™ film and includes an impeller. It contains a rigid folding base, which folds around the outside layer of film to offer added protection but does not come in contact with the process fluid. The single-use biocontainers are available in two different configurations, both in 2000 and 3000 L sizes.
Single-use inflation set
A single-use inflation set is required to inflate and deploy the single-use biocontainer. The inflation set is used to connect the single-use biocontainer to the inflation system, which is integrated into the electrical cabinet of the hardware system.
The general use inflation set includes two tubing assemblies, each containing a Kleenpak™ capsule with Emflon™ II membrane in sterilizing grade air filter, AdvantaPure® braided, platinum-cured silicone tubing, and 1.5 in. Tri-Clamp™ sanitary flange fittings at both ends. These are suitable for use with either the standard configuration biocontainer or general-use configuration. The filters are hydrophobic to prevent water ingress into the electrical cabinet and are therefore required to be used for all applications, including non-sterile applications. The filters may not be reused since saturation of the filters impacts inflation, venting, and hydrophobic capabilities.
Single-use dosing lines
For applications where fluid dosing is foreseen using the integrated peristaltic pumps on the hardware system, the single-use dosing lines are optional. These dosing lines consist of tubing and connectors that can be used to pump fluid into the biocontainer — available with different tubing types, tubing lengths and connector types, to adapt to standard or custom biocontainer configurations.
Powder bags and accessories
Several powder bag options are available, as well as lifts, hooks and transportation trollies. See data file for more info.
