Production and Quality Control

Starting from Zero The different market requirements for material quality standards according to ASME®, ASTM® and various European specifications are allready taken into account when the stainless steel is ordered from the steelworks. The material is cut from the original bar into work-pieces before being used to produce valve bodies. The heat number from the original bar is transferred directly to the valve body or recorded with the batch numbers that are engraved on the valve body. This provides full traceability back to the mill certificate for each single unit.

Computerized, Uniform Handling

The bodies are turned in computer-programmed turning lathes to their final shape and the pipes are welded using semi-automatic TIG welding on the outside. This operation guarantees uniform handling and an outstanding result. The valve part is polished manually and, if required, electro-polished according to your requirements to a surface finish of Ra < 0.5 μm, or better. The Millipore quality control program for the valve body is extensive and ensures that only high-quality products are shipped to our customers.

BioPure BioClamps™ are a patented plastic tri-clamp with quick release, specifically designed to meet the needs of busy pharmaceutical and bioprocessing laboratories.

Bio Clamps™ are moulded from glass reinforced nylon USP Class IV
BioClamps™reduce the distortion on polymeric components when subjected to heat
BioClamps™ are more compatible with current Pharmaceutical and Biotech manufacturing with greater flexibility in operation and single use disposal
Bio-Clamps™ can be repeatedly autoclaved at 134°C for 5 minutes
Bio-Clamps™ subjected to 60 kGy (6Mrad) showed no detectable weakening

BioPure BioBarbs™, hose tail to tri-clamp adapters are produced from DMF listed polypropylene that complies with FDA and USP Class VI test protocols.

The oversized hose barb design facilitates a strong adhesion to the tubing and ties may not be required.
Sanitary Bio Barbs™ feature a true bore design through the entire connector, and the barb design ensures a smooth transition from tubing to adaptor, reducing turbulence.
The identical ID of barb and tubing allows complete full drainage along an unimpeded flow path.
A slight raise at the port of the tri-clover face ensures proper capture of the gasket.
Every hosebarb has permanently moulded in it the production lot, and size identification.

Pouched in packs of 10 pieces.
European Patent Application EP.0402564.9

BioPure Y-BioBarbs™ are designed to meet the same high performance standards of our BioBarbs™.

They are produced from DMF listed polypropylene that complies with FDA and USP Class VI test protocols.
The oversized hose barb design facilitates a strong adhesion to the tubing and ties may not be required.
Bio-Ys™ feature a true bore design through the entire connector, and the barb design ensures a smooth transition from tubing to adapter, reducing turbulence.
The Y-junction splits the flow with minimum turbulence and optimum flow rate.
The identical ID of barb and tubing allows complete full drainage along an unimpeded flow path, and compression between the tube and fitting eliminates the by-pass of the media to potential entrapment areas.
Every Y has permanently moulded in it the production lot, and size identification.
