NovaSeptum AV Accurate Volume Sampling System for Safe, Accurate Small-Volume Sampling of High-Value Biotherapeutics

Billerica, Massachusetts—April 10, 2007—Millipore Corporation introduced today the new NovaSeptum AV Accurate Volume system designed to meet the challenges of aseptic and sterile sampling in the production of today’s high-value biotherapeutic products. The ability to accurately sample small volumes with minimal waste of valuable drug product improves final product yield.

Consecutive individual small-volume samples for immediate in-process testing or distribution to appropriate QC personnel for testing can be obtained. This level of accurate sampling eliminates the aliquoting step, further reducing the risk of cross contamination. The ability to dispense product with milliliter accuracy improves sampling efficiency while reducing potential product waste. The NovaSeptum syringe can also be stored until sample testing is required.

The closed design of the NovaSeptum AV system ensures that the drug product and sample are always enclosed in a sterile, closed environment. The risk of false positives is eliminated and the safety of the product, sample and operator are ensured. Providing a sterile, disposable and closed sampling environment, the NovaSeptum AV system eliminates the need to clean and sterilize traditional sample containers and ensures your drug product is secure from point of sampling to analysis, eliminating cross contamination.
