Frequently Asked Questions
What is Single-use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)?
Meissner’s Single-use OEM program offers tailored single-use systems designed for original equipment manufacturers. These systems include customized packaging assemblies and a robust accessory line, all supported by a secure supply chain to ensure reliable delivery and integration into biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
What materials are used in Meissner’s single-use OEM components?
Meissner’s single-use OEM components utilize materials such as polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for fluid contact parts, which are gamma stable and animal component free (ACF). For example, the Single-Use Gauge Tee (SGT) uses polypropylene and a TPE diaphragm to maintain sterility and ensure biocompatibility per USP Class VI standards.
What specifications or sizes are available for Meissner’s single-use filling needles?
Meissner’s single-use filling needles are available with nominal internal diameters ranging from 1.2 mm to 4.5 mm to accommodate various dosing volumes. Standard needle lengths are 107 mm functional length, with options for extended (125 mm), shortened (96 mm), and custom lengths (165 mm) to fit different filling machine requirements.
What features ensure sterility and safety in Meissner’s single-use gauge tee (SGT)?
The SGT features a permanent thermally welded TPE diaphragm that maintains a sterile boundary between the fluid path and reusable pressure gauges or transducers, preventing cross contamination. It supports offline calibration without compromising system integrity when depressurized. The SGT is gamma irradiated, meets USP Class VI plastics tests, and is non-cytotoxic, ensuring biocompatibility and sterility.
How do Meissner’s single-use filling needles integrate with filling machines?
Meissner’s single-use filling needles are designed to interface directly with most filling machines in use today. They come with polypropylene adapters that accommodate various filling machine designs, enabling modular, ready-to-use filling solutions without the need for costly custom needles, facilitating faster product changeovers and higher throughput.
Can Meissner’s single-use filling needles be customized?
Yes, Meissner offers single-use filling needles in various lengths including standard (107 mm), extended (125 mm), shortened (96 mm), and custom lengths (e.g., 165 mm for Syntegon filling machines). This customization supports diverse filling applications and machine compatibility.
What other products are commonly used with Single-use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)?
Common complementary products include Saltus® Single-Use Mixing System, UltraCap® H.D. Capsule Filter, Filter Media & Cartridges, AccuFlux® Filter Integrity Tester, and FlexFill® Mixing Assembly. These products support upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical processing workflows.
