Hollow Fiber Filter Products
Booth C514—Minntech Corp.'s Fibercor Division manufactures Hollow Fiber Filter products that are integrity testable and are pore size certified by a latex bead challenge. Pore size control and membrane asymmetry enable Fiberflo Hollow Fiber Filters to essentially reject all 0.45, 0.2, 0.1 or 0.05 micron beads, whereas pleated membranes pass significant quantities of these beads, enabling the filters to remove fine particles, bacteria, pyrogens and endotoxins.

Sanitary Fittings, Tubing and Manifolds
Booth 946—MKS Instruments manufactures a broad range of products and solutions for pharmaceutical process manufacturing, including: sanitary fittings, tubing and manifolds manufactured to ASME BPE standards with compliant 316L stainless steel; custom sanitary solutions developed to customer specifications; pressure transducers and controllers; mass flow controllers; portable helium leak detectors; portable pressure calibrators; gas analyzers; and industrial networking products that enable remote monitoring, control and data sharing with Internet applications.

Fiberglass Trays for Handling and Processing
Booth 1581—Molded Fiberglass Tray Company manufactures trays for soft gel drying, a large variety of trays and containers used in the handling and processing of pharmaceutical products, and vial trays for handling small and medium vial sizes—available in four sizes that stack. The trays feature easy grips and a smooth surface for easy loading and unloading.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaners and HEPA/ULPA Filters
Booth 1038—Nilfisk-Advance America, Inc. offers industrial vacuum cleaners: intermittent duty, continuous duty, central systems, wet/dry, explosion-proof, air-operated, stainless steel, separators and hoppers. The company also has oversized, multi-stage filtration systems with HEPA/ULPA filters, as well as the new Safe-Pak System for handling and disposing potent compounds.

Separations Technologies and Purification Services
Booth 3201—Orelis, a Groupe NovaSep company, offers clean cross-flow membrane separation technology, know-how and service covering every step from the start of development to the industrialization of the process. Separation systems include microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Organic and inorganic membranes are available with various supports including ceramics, spiral wound and plate and frame.

Sanitary Mixers and Seals
Booth 2279—Roplan AB is showing its Sterimixer, the magnetic coupled stirrer for pharmaceutical processes, and its Sterivalve, the aseptic valve choice for pharmaceutical processes.
