Component Sanitization/Sterilization:
These components should be pre-sanitized, or pre-sterilized before use each day. It is strongly suggested to either
autoclave, or chemically sanitize the diffuser, inlet adapter, seal, clamp, and sample tubing, before use. If chemical
sanitization is performed, 70% sterile alcohol (IPA, EtOH) should be used as the final rinsing agent. This will help
remove residual disinfectant and will aid in drying the components. The components may be dried in a laminar air
flow bench. The exhaust filter should be put in place after sanitization, drying, and before exposure to the general
environment. It is suggested to change these each sampling day.
For use:
Using pre sanitized, or sterilized components, as described above,
1) Attach the inlet adapter (1) to the P100 pre sanitized or sterilized P100 inlet cover. Press the inlet Adapter down
firmly and evenly, from the top of the inlet, until it seats with the P100 inlet cover.
2) Attach the Micro HPD to the sampling point with sanitary clamp and seal, along with required adapters, as
needed.
3) Attach the tubing between the micro HPD and P100 Inlet Adapter
4) Purge the assembly for 30-60 seconds, and then perform sampling per Appendix A, General Sampling with the
P100.
NOTE: Start the compressed air or gas flow within a PSI Range that will with the MICRO HPD Inlet and Outlet
adapters, for the desired flow rate, 28.3 or 100 LPM.
