31.1 Headplate Septum Port Kit
Figure 39: Septum & Septum Cover
(NBS PN M1214-9941)
Septum port kits allow for sterile access to the vessel. This septum port kit can be
installed into any 19 mm headplate port. The septum membranes are self-sealing
and can be punctured several times. However, a new septum membrane should
be used for each new process.
To assemble the septum port kit:
1. Place the
SEPTUM MEMBRANE
into the headplate port.
2. Check all O-rings of the
SEPTUM COVER
and
PLUG
; clean and replace if
necessary.
3. Place the
SEPTUM COVER
into the port and tighten it until the
SEPTUM
MEMBRANE
stops it.
4. Place the
PLUG
into the
SEPTUM COVER
and tighten. This will keep the
membrane clean until you connect the inoculation kit or wish to inoculate the
vessel.
NOTE
:
Several other types of Septum Ports are available for use on the
BioFlo 4500. Contact your local NBS representative for the
information on these options.
