FAQ: What routine maintenance do TESTA flowmeters require?

A: Apart from the common-sense routine of keeping sensitive devices clean, no specific maintenance is necessary. During extended periods of inactivity or storage we recommend that you thoroughly flush your flowmeter with 2-Propanol (isopropanol). This will ensure the device will be ready to work again perfectly when needed.

FAQ: Are TESTA flowmeters biocompatible and suitable for use under aseptic conditions?

A: Our family of liquid flowmeters are designed with biocompatibility in mind. We utilize materials such as PEEK and borosilicate glass for wetted components because they are inert to biological samples. Aseptic techniques are often employed to prevent contamination from pathogens like bacteria and viruses. Because TESTA’s non-invasive flowmeter design does not include intricate pathways, gears, or seals they do not require disassembly and can be easily cleaned with sterilizing solution or weak acid to eliminate bacteria and viruses.

TESTA Analytical visits Karlsruher Institut für Technologie.

On a recent service visit to the prestigious Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), our founder Carlo Dessy took the opportunity to also provide an intensive free training session on advanced techniques for particle sizing and zeta potential determination. Drawing upon his over 30 years of experience at the cutting edge of analytical science – Carlo was able to describe less known techniques that can decisively increase your understanding of samples investigated using Dynamic Light Scattering. The visit provided a deeper understanding of the instrument's capabilities and was greatly appreciated by our host at KIT.

Maximizing pump uptime and fluid delivery accuracy.

Our Solvent Line Monitor (SLM) is a smart sensor designed to protect pumps from running dry while also optimising process performance. Designed to automatically detect microbubbles in flow control applications - the SLM is a great tool for engineers who need to prevent expensive downtime due to pump malfunction caused by these unwanted gas bubbles. Offering real time detection of undissolved gas microbubbles in almost any fluid the SLM will also maintain the accuracy of pumped fluid delivery in your production processes.
