SteriGard™ single-use aseptic sampling probe: simplify and modernise your sampling workflow

The SteriGard™ Single-Use Aseptic Sampling Probe is a pre-sterilised, single-use alternative to traditional steam-sterilised sampling valves for stainless steel bioreactors and process vessels. Simply install it into a standard 25 mm Ingold or Safety Port, connect a syringe, and draw a clean, representative sample. No preparation, WFI flushing, or cleaning validation is required. This innovative, patent-pending solution eliminates cross-contamination risks, reduces operational costs, and enables safe, efficient single-operator sampling, even after hours. Designed by Flownamics, experts in bioprocess sampling, its gamma-irradiated design with integrated check valves ensures sterility and directional flow. Compatible with automated systems like Flownamics Seg-Flow®, it is ideal for high-throughput facilities seeking to minimise downtime and maximise productivity. Its single-use design removes the need for recurring cleaning or SIP/CIP validation, further reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Features

  • Pre-Sterilised, Ready to Use: Gamma-irradiated and sealed, with integrated check valves that maintain directional flow and sterility until use.
  • Fast Installation, No Special Tools: Fits standard 25 mm Ingold, Safety, or Sanitary ports directly, with no permanent valve installation or custom fittings; install, sample, and remove within minutes.
  • Eliminates Prep and Downtime: No WFI flushing, chemical conditioning, or cleaning/SIP/CIP validation; probes swap between batches without disrupting the production schedule.
  • Protects Operators: Removes exposure to steam and hot surfaces during sampling, supporting safe single-operator use, including outside standard shift hours.
  • Lowers Total Cost: Cutting cleaning, sterilisation, and validation steps reduces recurring labour and consumable costs, particularly in high-throughput or production environments.
  • Reduces Variability: A standardised, simplified procedure limits the opportunity for operator error between users and batches.
  • Configurable and Compatible: Custom tubing and manifold configurations are available, and SteriGard integrates with automated sampling systems such as the Flownamics Seg-Flow series.
