Overview
With the Palltronic Flowstar V integrity test instrument at it's core, the AquaWIT V system performs an automated, in-situ water intrusion test, saving time, and reducing the risk of manual error.
- The system will fill, test, drain, and air flush your gas filter, providing greater reproducibility of procedure.
- The use of a solvent is not necessary; therefore, removing the filter from the process is not required.
- The AquaWIT V system can also test liquid sterilizing grade filters by forward flow or bubble point test procedures.
The water intrusion test (WIT) is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to integrity test gas filters on equipment such as hold tanks, autoclaves, and bioreactors. Testing with automated equipment supports a robust contamination control strategy.
Manual procedures related to integrity testing of gas filters can be time consuming and prone to error. If an organic solvent such as alcohol is used, the filter must be removed from the process, brought to a safe environment for testing, then cleaned and dried before reinstallation. Removal of filters from elevated locations can be a challenge for the operator. Temperature fluctuations in the environment can also affect test results, particularly with smaller filters.
The AquaWIT V system is further enhanced by the addition of the flush set (product code AW05-FLST) and MUX extension (product code AW05-MUX). The flush set enables thorough water rinsing for complete and consistent wetting. The MUX extension allows testing of multiple filters.
AquaWIT V system with or without integrated software: your choice
Choose the stand-alone system (AW05) or upgrade to the version with integrated Data Management System (DMS) Pro software for enhanced control and connectivity (AQ05-DMS). With DMS Pro installed you can:
- Store and retrieve test data directly from the instrument
- Sync test programs across multiple instruments in the same group
- Manage user access using Windows domain groups for secure operations
- Align instrument time zones automatically for consistent reporting
- Connect multiple Palltronic Flowstar V instruments and configure settings centrally
