ARTeSYN arterial process valves can be arranged in a multitude of orientations. They can be arranged with individual straight through valves for quick assembly and break down or in multi-valve arrays to facilitate even the lowest hold up volume requirements.

The Emphaze Hybrid Purifier is a new single-use clarifying device containing a multi-mechanism all synthetic Q-functional anion exchange media integrated with a fine particle, bioburden reduction membrane. The anion exchange media is comprised of a quaternary amine hydrogel supported by a fine fiber nonwoven scaffold. A combination of 3M technology platforms enables the hyperfunctionalization of a high purity polypropylene nonwoven with a covalently attached, thermally stable, water soluble polymer; the functional polymer accounts for roughly two-thirds of the mass of the anion exchange media. The bioburden reduction membrane is a highly asymmetric, high loading capacity polyamide membrane which has nine zones of decreasing pore size spanning a roughly 20X range and terminating with a 0.2 μm bioburden reduction rated pore size.

Our syringes are handmade with an unmatched attention to detail. The manufacturing process and quality assurance procedures ensure that every syringe we sell will provide superior accuracy and precision as well as cycle life.

Cross- Flow Filtration mineral (inorganic) membranes and systems for bioprocessing and separation of biomolecules (e.g. monoclonal antibodies); especially for UF/DF filtration step in downstream processing.

AseptiQuik® STC Connectors integrate the AseptiQuik® sterile connector and the Steam-Thru® II SIP connector, giving manufacturers even greater flexibility for hybrid stainless steel and single-use processing. 

Choose from ten fixed volume SoftGrip pipettes covering 0.2 µL to 1 mL. All pipettes have color-coded plunger buttons and labels for easy volume identification.

Sani-Tech® Ultra represents the next generation in ultra-pure platinum-cured silicone tubing. Features like ultra-low extractables and longer pump life were engineered into Ultra by the experienced materials scientists of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics to meet the stringent requirements of the biopharmaceutical market.

When your instrumentation requires fluid handling equipment, you need more than parts—you need a partner. And that partner is Hamilton Company.
