TakeOne® Aseptic sampling device is completely ready to use & have multiple, independent sampling lines
Not all samples are equal – categorization of a sampling plan by assay type reduces costs, improves sampling results and optimizes capacity of the sampling solution. Samples are drawn throughout the entire Pharma | Biopharmaceutical process for different steps like compounding, holding stage, cell expansion, fermentation, buffer | media preparation, purification, final fill finish etc.
Fetaures and benefits:

TakeOne® -Aseptic sampling device has been engineered to take perfectly representative samples giving exact results with no risk of false-positives for each process step, thanks to its pre-assembled, sterile and closed design. It collects process fluids for analysis while protecting the process fluid from adventitious agents.
Microbiological assays like bioburden and endotoxin monitoring is required to demonstarte process control to prevent a batch rejection due to loss of sterility or high bioburden and compliance of the final drug product to the limits set by regulatory agencies; the process monitoring assays ensure that critical parameters like viability, osmolality, immunoglobulin, nutrients, conductivity, pH and gas analysis are met for successful drug production.
TakeOne® Aseptic sampling device is completely ready to use & have multiple, independent sampling lines which allow for collection of perfectly representative samples. Perfectly representative samples provide perfectly reliable data allowing operators to quickly react to out-of-specification results.

During actuation the cannula, or the needle pierces the self sealing septa that is molded to the faceplate allowing fluid to enter the sampling pathway and into the collection vessel. The design and operation of cannula diaphragm and septa ensure a closed pathway before, during and after actuation.
Once the sample has been collected operators easily cut the aluminum collar with a hand held cutting tool aseptically disconnecting the tubing and the sampling container.
