HydroBlokr™ Serological pipette protection device

HydroBlokr™ is a novel filter technology which aids in the reduction of serological pipette sample cross contamination and device failure.

Housing design types (25mm diameter):

	Model 1 Female Leur-Lock with Male Slip Port, high-flow 0.8µm Model 2 Female Leur-Lock with Male Slip Port, 0.22µm
	Model 3 Male Slip Port with Male Slip Port, high-flow 0.8µm Model 4 Male Slip Port with Male Slip Port, 0.22µm
	Model 5 Female Slip Port with Male Slip Port, high-flow 0.8µm Model 6 Female Slip Port with Male Slip Port, 0.22µm

HydroBlokr™ functions via use of proprietarily designed, multi-layered series of membranes placed within an ultrasonically welded device which creates a check-valve effect when wet. The functional membrane within the series immediately reacts in presence of aqueous solution by stopping and blocking further passage¹.

The materials create a highly retentive pore structure which helps protect the user environment². The extraordinarily high flow rates compared to other simple hydrophobic barrier filters creates a high-flow, less restrictive path for vacuum and positive pressure to pass. Unlike simple hydrophobic barrier filters, once HydroBlokr™ is wetted it halts operation and locks out further usage until replaced. No further aspiration is possible, thus helping to protect your sample³ and making it plainly obvious the filter has become wet and replacement is necessary.

Gain Accurate Samples Every time With HydroBlokr™

• HydroBlokr™ Stops, blocks and locks upon wetting to help reduce incidents of cross contamination via re-introduction of fluids from one aspiration to the next in serological pipette devices.
• HydroBlokr™ is an advanced filter device offering significant improvement over the often overlooked insufficient components in use by many operators.
• HydroBlokr™ is a multi-layer barrier which demonstrates higher retention than standard single layer devices.
• HydroBlokr™ creates less back pressure which helps to extend battery life and reduces wear and tear in motorized units.
• HydroBlokr™ inserts in the device similarly to that of standard filters, generally in less than 1 minute.
• Indication of need-to-replace is plainly evident by halted operation.
• Multiple design configurations are available to match the geometry of a standard filter for broad device compatibility.
• Compatible with most serological pipette and liquid handling controllers; metered bulb, motorized, premium or budget, imported or domestic.
• Once inserted the function of the filter is no different from a standard hydrophobic filter until it becomes wetted.
• Porosities available: 0.80µm high-flow and 0.22µm, sterile and non-sterile versions.
• Custom configurations and OEM are available.
• Convenient to use environmentally friendly packaging.
• I.W. Tremont is a trusted analytical and technical filter supplier founded in 1979 who proudly manufactures in the U.S.A.

Notes:

1 – Continue to use good laboratory practices and aseptic procedure in sample handling.

2 – Continue to use safety procedures and equipment as required.

3 – No guarantee of sample preservation or contamination protection is implied.
