Application Areas for Allegro MVP System
Optimized Design
The system was designed to perform the pH adjustment steps needed in media preparation and virus inactivation, with fully automated addition of acid & base stock solutions.Allegro 混合器可与MVP系统共同使用,在工艺步骤中确保添加流体的快速分散。多种设计好的管路套装可供选用,提供选择工具以帮助您确定最适用于具体应用的管路套装。
通过选择传感器、连接器、管路类型地、过滤器及预过滤器确保所选择管路套装适用于工艺。
No other system offers such a wide range of preconfigured standard manifold options.
The system is designed to automatically monitor multiple parameters and the following sensors can be selected:
- Pressure (inlet, between filters, outlet single-use sensors)
- pH (reusable probe in mixer)
- Flow (inlet single-use sensors)
- Conductivity (reusable probe in mixer or single-use sensor on outlet)
- UV (outlet single-use sensors)
- Mass (via load cell connection)
Easy Configuration
The sensors being used in any given process can be easily selected or deselected on the configuration screen.Sensors not being used are not shown on the main operating screen.The phase editor in the control system allows the generation and configuration of customer specific processes in a simple and user-friendly way.This facilitates reliable, automated control of processing at optimum conditions.
Allegro MVP System capabilities:
最终制剂和灌装 | 膜层析 |
除菌过滤 | pH adjustment |
Bioburden reduction | Media and buffer preparation (mixing, pH adjust, filtration) |
深层过滤 | |
Virus filtration and inactivation | |
A universal clamp can be used to support capsules with diameter 5 cm to 10.5 cm
- Different capsule types
- Filter combination
- Filters in series / parallel
Depending on the process application and the flow range required, either a diaphragm or a peristaltic feed pump can be used with the Allegro MVP system.
Capsules with a diameter 5 cm to 10.5 cm (up to 30 in.颇尔 Kleenpak™ Nova filter or equivalent) are supported on the Allegro MVP system with universal clamps fixed to vertical brackets.This allows for different filter combinations and running filters in series or parallel.
Stax™ depth modules (up to 20 m2) can be positioned next to the Allegro MVP system, with connections running between the units.
Automated pH Adjustment
The Allegro MVP system has two small pumps which add acid/base as programmed by the software.The acid and base stock solutions are located in the two 20 L trays.
Mixing is required for virus inactivation and media preparation.An Allegro mixer bag with acid/base ports and pH probe access point can be used with this system.The mixer can be controlled from the HMI on the MVP system.
A reusable, autoclavable, pH probe in the mixing bag will continually monitor the pH, so that the end point can be accurately determined.
Intuitive Flowpath Installation
Unique, intuitive, labelling on the Allegro MVP manifolds ensures quick and easy installation of flowpaths and filters in the correct location.Product Validation
