Overview
Allegro™ single-use filling needles provide a cost-effective, unique direct replacement alternative to the stainless steel filling needles traditionally used for aseptic filling of liquids.
These needles deliver accurate and reliable dispensing across a broad range of drug products and dosing volumes.
- Ready to use, single use
- Autoclavable, gamma irradiatable
- Product contact portion is PEEK (and polypropylene for luer connection)
Filling inaccuracy, dripping and needle clogging lead to costly product losses and process downtime at a critical stage in the manufacture of drug products. Allegro single-use filling needles overcome these challenges through the inherent hydrophobicity of their unique reinforced polyether ether ketone (PEEK) construction and their availability in a wide range of internal diameters. These combine to deliver accurate and reliable dispensing across a broad range of drug products and dosing volumes as part of an autoclaved assembly or when integrated into a gamma-irradiated single-use final filling assembly.
Complete single-use assemblies incorporating the Allegro needles simplify filling machine operation, reduce assembly time and needle installation risks. The needles come in different sizes: 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2 mm with female luer connection and 3.2, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm with a direct connection
