Microfluidics Introduces Standardized M-7250CP BioPharm Microfluidizer® Processor
Microfluidics introduces its newly standardized M-7250CP (Constant Pressure) system for the BioPharm industry. Standard features include Steam in Place (SIP) for aseptic processing of drugs in a cGMP environment, a Yokogawa data acquisition (DAQ) station and Ultra Clean in Place that eliminates the need to disassemble for cleaning between batches or before storage. It incorporates our new system architecture integrating the machine, all machine controls, functions, and data recording onto a single common platform.
The DAQ station enables continuous temperature, pressure and flow monitoring while users can easily and cost-effectively record and print digital testing data. An optional PLC manages on board sensor signals and coordinates audio-visual alarms, alarm acknowledgment and silencing and motor starter interlocks. In the event that an operating parameter is out of tolerance, the PLC will manage the signal processing. Additionally, the PLC coordinates these signals in conjunction with the data recorder to provide the customer with an "Event Log" data entry. This enhances the batch recordkeeping function and aligns with the requirements of cGAMP4 guidelines.
The M-7250CP fluid processor achieves a uniform pressure profile. Coupled with its proprietary fixed interaction chambers, the constant pressure system ensures that every unit volume of product is exposed to the same level of shear force resulting in the least number of passes thus maximizing production cost savings. The constant pressure pumping system incorporates digitally controlled position sensors that automatically adapt to changing requirements and maintains a process pressure profile within +/- 5% of the desired setting. This novel pumping system eliminates pressure spikes, provides uniform processing, extends overall system reliability and reduces the frequency of preventive maintenance cycles.
