A
imed at the pharmaceutical and
biopharmaceutical
Interphex 2013 will take place
April 23-25 at the Jacob Javits
Convention Center in New York. The conference
program for the event features 52
sessions organized into five tracks, including
supply chain, regulatory and quality
control, product development, facility and
process design, and manufacturing and
packaging. Meanwhile, the exhibit floor
will showcase over 1,000 product lines from
more than 650 suppliers. The following
descriptions represent a small sample
of the products and services that will
be highlighted in the exhibit hall.
This fi lter and valve system is
integrated into one assembly
The company's IFV (integral filter
valve; photo) system integrates a sterile
filter assembly and adjacent valving
into one integral block. Designed
to increase yields and avoid dropped
batches, the assembly reduces contact
surfaces and hold-up volume while
greatly reducing dimensional envelope
constraints and installation time,
the company says. The IFV comes
with a universal filter-housing mount,
two conventional hygienic diaphragm
valves and one double-weir robolux
hygienic diaphragm valve. Booth 3553

This rupture disc technology
has been expanded
The Atlas line of rupture discs (photo)
is the latest to be manufactured with
this company's G2 technology. G2 is a
patented manufacturing process for
rupture discs that avoids the use of

hard-score tooling. The process builds
rupture discs that are free of stress
zones that can fatigue, says the company.
Also the Atlas line offers higher
pressure capability than was previously
available. The product line is
suitable for liquid or vapor service,
and has a 95% operating ratio, backpressure
resistance and high cycling
capability. Booth 2236 - Fike Corp.,

Transfer viscous products
with this system
The Vispro (photo) transfers viscous
materials from manufacturing sites to
other locations, such as the packaging
machine. The system uses air pressure
to raise a plunger located inside the
smooth wall of a stainless-steel drum.
The viscous product is discharged
through an outlet in the unit's lid.

Use these benchtop
bioreactors for scaleup
RALF benchtop bioreactors and fermenters
(photo) are designed for
scaleup, and come with specialized
software known as BioSCADA. This
powerful software requires no programming
knowledge, and allows
users to benefit from the sophisticated
tools of manufacturing experts in a
straightforward, user-friendly way,

the company says. The bioreactor control
tower and vessels require minimal
bench space, and offer superior accessibility
to all components, as well as
the ability to rotate a full 360 deg. The
measurement and control components
are durable and allow for thorough
documentation. A two-year warranty
is standard with all systems. Booth

these pumps to
control fl uids without drift
Valveless, ceramic pumps from this
company are designed for drift-free
fluid control for pilot plants and benchtop
operations. The pumps routinely
monitor a wide range of substances,
including monomers, catalysts, alternative
fuels and water-treatment
chemicals. These pumps also control
additions of viscous fluids and slurries.
The pump design eliminates the need
for check valves, and can maintain accuracies
of 1% or better for millions
of cycles, the company says. - Fluid

Save energy
with these air fi lters
The Megapleat M8 premium pleated
air filter (photo, p. 35) is said to reduce
energy costs by up to 20% compared
to the leading MERV 8 pleated filter
available in the market. It also lasts
