Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stand for holding disposable filter capsules and is formed of three or more legs, a base above the legs and to which the leg as are attached and three or more arms that are attached to an opposite surface of the base from that of the legs. The arms and legs have at least curved or angled portion that allows for the arms and legs to spread out from the diameter of the base. Preferably, the arms have a second curved or angled portion that then allows the upper portion of the arms to become substantially vertical.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid sampling apparatus, having a low-cost structure for promoting the disposability, used for a standard industrial port commonly seen in a fluid receptacle, and extracting several fine sterilized fluid samples during a single sterilization period and/or before disposal. SOLUTION: The invention provides the fluid sampling apparatus having a port insertion section, a plurality of flexible conduits, and a plurality of sample vessels. The port insertion section includes a body, through which a plurality of the shafts pass, and a sample gate means for individually opening and closing one of the shafts for passing the fluid. The number of flexible conduits is the same as the number of elongate members. Each flexible conduit is connected to the individual shaft or communicates with the individual shaft by means of fluid. The number of sample vessels is the same as the number of the conduits. Each sample vessel is connected to the individual conduit, on aside opposite to the side of connection with the shaft.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for over-molding a tubular filter element having a thermoplastic resin end cap at least at one end. SOLUTION: An over-molding method can be used to manufacture easily and cost effectively a filter cartridge, of good durability, from an unprecedented range of polymeric materials and components. The thermoplastic over-molding method does not require pre-lamination of said end 16B, and can be performed at temperatures and pressures which do not result in undesirable morphological changes in the tubular filtration medium. Exemplary filter cartridges made through the over-molding method comprise a tubular filtration medium interposed between thermoplastic end caps, the thermoplastic material of the end caps infiltrating the tubular filtration medium, thereby creating mechanical interlock zones at the two ends thereof.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid sampling device that is sufficiently inexpensive in its construction to promote single-use disposability, capable of being used in standard industrial ports commonly found in fluid receptacles, and capable of several good sterile fluid sample withdrawals per sterilization cycle and/or prior to being exhausted. SOLUTION: The fluid sampling device includes a port insert, a plurality of flexible conduits, and a plurality of sample containers. The port insert comprises a body having a plurality of shafts therethrough and sample gating means for individually opening and closing any of the shafts to enable the flow of fluid therethrough. The flexible conduits are equal in number to the elongate member, and each flexible conduit is connected to or otherwise in fluid communication with an individual shaft. The sample containers are equal in number to the conduits, and each sample container is connected to an individual conduit on the side opposite to the connection to the shaft.

Abstract:
A filter cartridge comprising a tubular filtration medium (16) having first and second ends, comprising porous or fibrous material, and at least one thermoplastic end cap (12,14) formed of thermoplastic material and connected with said tubular filtration medium (16) in that one of said first and second ends of said tubular filtration medium (16) is fixed thereinto at an interlock zone (12A,14A). The thermoplastic material of said at least one end cap (12,14) has infiltrated said porous or fibrous material of said tubular filtration medium (16) at said interlock zone (12A,14P). The materials used for the end cap (12,14) and the tubular filtration medium (16) are dissimilar.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector for connecting a flexible conduit with a second conduit having a barbed outer surface.SOLUTION: The connector accommodates the end of the flexible conduit and the end of the second conduit in a manner which prevents removal of the flexible conduit and the second conduit from the connector. Optionally, the connector has a ring that may be used to apply additional pressure and security to the outer surface of the flexible conduit. Additionally, the connector may have a wireless enabled communication and optionally, memory device such as a RFID tag attached or affixed to it.
