EJ BioMed “Goes Green” with FlexeleneTM MFX
Eldon James introduces FlexeleneTM MFX to meet requests from Medical and Pharmaceutical
customers for a “green product” having only organic emissions as by-products upon
incineration. With 58 Shore A hardness, Flexelene MFX offers flexibility and clarity
comparable to PVC without the use of halogens, plasticizers, latex or vinyl acetate.
MFX has USP Class VI and European Pharmacopoeia approvals. Common sterilization
methods or ETO and Gamma work well. Low heat-sealing temperatures (or high frequency
welding) allows fast welding times and peel sealing. MFX offers superior water vapor
barrier properties and chemical resistance than PVC.
For repeated use applications, Flexelene MFXAG incorporates a silver ion lining
that is effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the interior wall of the
tubing.
Eldon James also offers a wide range of standard and antimicrobial silver ion fittings
to compliment Flexelene tubing. Food and Beverage customers should look to Flexelene
Silver for those applications. Call 1.800.848.1141 for more information.
Real-Time Measurement of Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Accurate measurement of water quality is critical to the pharmaceutical production
process. Regulations mandate monitoring of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels for
Purified Water, Water for Injection (WFI) and Highly Purified Water. Testing requirements
are defined in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter <643> and European Pharmacopeia
(EP) 2.2.44 guidelines.
TOC measurements respond to a broad range of organic compounds. Most TOC sensors
used in monitoring water quality oxidize organics to CO2 in order to detect them
by conductivity. The difference in conductivity before and after oxidation is used
to determine the TOC concentration. In a process environment, response time is critical.
Using Thornton’s 5000 TOC USP <643> compliant Sensor with continuous measurement
technology, organic compounds are measured in real-time, so that excursions in water
systems can be immediately evaluated.
Combine Thornton 5000 TOC Sensor(s) with a 770MAX Multi-parameter Instrument for
an ideal analytical package. The 770MAX accepts one or two sensors and provides
two additional smart channels for conductivity, pH, DO or Ozone measurement. Two
pulsed flow channels are also available.
