PSG® Biotech, a provider of pump, flow-sensor and flow-measurement technologies for use in life science and biopharmaceutical production applications, and a brand of PSG®, is proud to announce the launch of its new BioProTT™ FlowSU System and updated SumoFlo® CPFM-8103 Single-Use Coriolis Mass Flow Meter technologies. The unveiling will take place in Booth No. 1027 at the 2023 INTERPHEX Show, which will be held from April 25-27 at the Javits Center in New York, NY.
The producers of life-saving and life-changing biopharmaceuticals, medicines and therapeutics can only be confident that the products they create are safe for human consumption if they are manufactured with equipment and systems that ensure maximum media-integrity protection,” said Michael Franco, Director, Global Biopharma Sales for PSG Biotech. “That is the motivation behind everything we do at PSG Biotech and why we have taken the time and effort to develop the new BioProTT FlowSU System and improve our SumoFlo Coriolis Mass Flow Meter products. It is also the embodiment of the ‘Caring For Every Drop’ philosophy that drives our business every day.”
The BioProTT FlowSU System is a next-generation flow-measurement system that has been designed for single-use biopharma applications. The “Ready. Connect. Flow.” capabilities of the FlowSU System revolve around an innovative disposable sensor that eliminates the need for calibration and can be easily integrated into most standard manifolds while performing flow-measurement and air-in-line detection tasks simultaneously. The sensor’s straight-line flow path also produces product transfer with less shear stress to better protect sensitive fluids from damage. The reusable and easy-to-mount holder station is outfitted with integrated electronics with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability. The holder station is compatible with every sensor size and allows tool-free attachment with special locking technology, creating a safe and reliable connection with every use.
The SumoFlo CPFM-8103 Single-Use Coriolis Mass Flow Meter, the world’s only gamma-sterilizable Coriolis mass flow meter, continues to provide a best-in-class mass-flow reading accuracy rate of +/-1% in flow rates from 0.05 to 100 kg/min, but a number of new features have been added that further separate its operational capabilities from competitive models and make them well suited for upstream, laboratory, and cell-and-gene therapy applications. Specifically, the 031 model has been redesigned to offer a new inline option that is available for both inlet and outlet ports. Also, in addition to the standard 1/8” connection option, a new 1/4” connection option allows the flow meter to be used in a wider range of applications with no adjustment needed for different tube sizes. Finally, the flow meter’s external temperature sensor has been relocated to the interior of the unit, which improves reliability and performance and eliminates a potential leak path. The redesign of both the 031 and U08 models also allows them to be more efficiently manufactured while they maintain their robust operating capabilities in the same size and footprint. The U08 SumoFlo Coriolis Mass Flow Meter is the low-flow version with a flow-rate range of 0.002-0.05 kg/min, making it ideal for critical low-dosing applications in the biopharmaceutical space.
