Process Solutions Sterile Sampling Unit The sampling unit is suitable to take sterile samples from all liquids in aseptic processes i.e. High purity water, High purity steam, Fermentation processes, Parenteral drugs, etc. Samples can be taken in a continuous process with pneumatic controlled diaphragm valves or typically as a system with manual valves and a handle bring the complete unit in the laboratory for analyzing the sample and sterile conditions. Advantages of the SED-Sterile Sampling Unit • Integral valve unit directly mounted to the sampling bottle • CIP/ SIP function in one single valve component • Efciency in sterilization direct from the point of use • Autoclavable system • Less heat transfer • Compact design • Material traceability available acc. to EN 10204 3.1 • Less weight Sampling bottle with manual valves and handle The recommended number of sampling units needed in a plant to qualify the process and continue the cycle of taking samples is: • one unit in use for taking sample • one unit in the cleaning • one unit in the sterilization • one unit for safety Eventually more units are needed if the testing of a sample takes longer, the frequency is high, or the laboratory is far away or external from the sampling point. Depending on the process, the location of taking samples (i.g. parenteral drugs) can be several hundreds. There are many different valve requirements when specifying the procedure for taking samples. There are not only the valves on the sampling unit but there is also a need for a valve combination or valve block on the tank and for the condensate and CIP solution as shown on the P&ID. For applicable designs as valve congurations see page 62 - 63 and for multiport valves see page 70.

Process Solutions Puried Steam Sampling Unit The unit consists of a cooling coil with an integrated valve for sampling. Before taking a sample a simple sterilization of the unit is possible. By regulating the internal cooling circuit with the integrated diaphragm valve, the operator can control the temperature of the puried steam condensate. Also the diaphragm valve allows for shutting off the cooling circuit. All process connections are designed as butt weld or clamp end in order to integrate the unit easily into the process system as per customer request. Puried steam connection Cooling...
