Accessories for the filter integrity testers

With the filter integrity tester "it-01" and the

filter test box "itb-08" up to 8 small disposable filters or syringe filters can be simultaneously tested in a one test run. All filters are tested in parallel.

The wetting procedure is a part of the integrity testing.

Due to the "itb-08" filter holder design, 50 mm disposable filters as well as LUER LOCK syringe fiters can be inserted.

Installation of the "itb-08" for the filter integrity testing (usually for the Bubble Point Test). The filter test box "itb-08" connects to the pressure vessel on one side and on the other to the outlet

connector of the filter integrity tester "it-01" (see picture below).

After the test starts, the wetting fluid starts to flow through the filters during a selected time. The test result is printed out by the integrated printer in approx. 5 min.

With the filter integrity tester "it-01" and the filter

test box "itb-10" up to 10 small vent filters can be simultaneously tested in a one test run.  All filters are tested in parallel.

The Low Pressure Test Box ''itb-LP'' is an accessory for the filter integrity tester ''it-01'' that has been designed for leakage tests on sterile package bags and containers.

It is controlled by the filter integrity tester ''it-01''.

The inlet side (pressure) of the "itb-LP" is linked to the line pressure source (1-3.5 barg).

- The filling valve is disconnected from the filter integrity tester "it-01".

- The cable of the "itb-LP" is plugged into the same connector.

- A PTFE sterile filter capsule is mounted on the outlet side of the 

"itb-LP" (Tri-clamp TC 1.5“).

- Sterile bags are fixed to the outlet side of the capsule.

- The test program for the specific leakage test is started on the filter integrity tester "it-01". 

- When the test is over, the sterile bags are emptied by the inbuilt vacuum pump.

It is connected and controlled by the "it-01" filter integrity tester.

The wetting procedure of membrane filter is fully automatic as well as the test run.

A suitable optimized wetting procedure is started for every filter test. It minimizes any risks of negative test results, especially with PES membrane filters.
