Minimize risk 

With continuous monitoring throughout the process

GMP grade

316L stainless steel body is designed to be fully enclosed to withstand the harshest GMP manufacturing environments. IP65, C1D2 rated.

21 CFR Part 11 & Annex 11 Software

CTech™ ViPER® ANLYTX software platform enables SecureVPT settings for 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 compliance.

Removable and interchangeable flow cells

Modular component design allows for increased scalability from development to production with three different removable Flow Cell options:

3 mm Flow Cell volume: 0.9 mL

10 mm Flow Cell volume: 9.0 mL

22 mm Flow Cell volume: 47.0 mL

Process connectivity via barb, Luer, and compression fittings (included).

Connectivity/System Integration

Designed with 2 analog output channels to allow for seamless integration and OPC-UA for easy bidirectional communication with different software platforms.

Robust and Automated Zeroing

Ensures accurate zeroing driving accurate baseline measurements, enhancing system reliability, and reducing the need for manual intervention, thereby streamlining operations and minimizing errors.

Linear Range-Finder Technology

The FlowVPX System automatically identifies the linear region of the section data sets to verify the compliance with Beer-Lambert law.
