Four measurements in one Single Use Cell
Minimized hold-up volume
USP Class VI and FDA approval
Overview
The Single Use Cell (S.U.C.) is designed to optimize separation, purification, concentration and formulation processes in disposable chromatography and ultrafiltration systems.
Cross-contamination between products and batches will no longer be an issue as gamma irradiated Single Use Cells decrease the risk of contamination to virtually zero.
S.U.C. Design
The S.U.C. is available in four different designs. Two versions are primarily for pre-column chromotography measurements (SUC 01/03) and two versions for post-column measurements (SUC 05/07) with optical windows for optek UV sensors.
Each S.U.C. is clearly labeled with data specific to that particular cell. This data includes the sensor constant of the conductivity sensor, as well as the UV OPL (optical path length) adaptation data (for SUC 05/07).

S.U.C. Holder

Integral parts of the S.U.C. system include the holder and locking mechanism guaranteeing proper installation. To enable easy and fast installation into the process instrumentation, the S.U.C. holder comes equipped with the conductivity sensor ACF60-SU-35.
S.U.C. pH Adapter
SUC 03 and SUC 07 are equipped with the pH adapter, which is compatible with a broad variety of standard pH electrodes (Ø12 mm x 120 mm). When no pH adapter is required (for SUC 01 and SUC 05) a plug is used to cover the pH input. This pH plug has the same dimensions as the pH electrode, keeping the hold-up volume minimal.
S.U.C. (Single Use Cells)

Fully assembled SUC 07 for measuring conductivity, pH, UV and temperature
The versatile design of the optek S.U.C. has been developed to meet the specific demands of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. With low hold-up volumes and easy installation they are fully compatible with the optek range of UV, NIR and color absorption sensors.
The Single Use Cells are manufactured in a clean room facility and are gamma irradiation ready
Simple fast exchange of the S.U.C. eliminates the need for system cleaning and validation
Improved productivity due to simpler exchange procedures and low down time between products/batches
