Value Plastics Introduces a More User-Friendly, Single-Use Sanitary Clamp

Value Plastics, a Nordson Company,announces the PharmaLok™ Series -- a new line of ergonomic, single-use sanitary construction clamps for securing fittings to bag ports and filters in the biopharmaceutical market. The new PharmaLok clamps will be featured in Booth 2722 at Interphex 2012 in New York City, May 1--May 3.

PharmaLok clamps provide a significant advancement for the industry, as a number of existing solutions either require tools for closure or consist of multiple components, turning what should be a simple operation into a difficult and awkward process.

"As a founding member of BPSA, Value Plastics has been fortunate enough to have insight into the needs of the biopharm industry," comments Ken Davis, Global Marketing Manager for Value Plastics. "User-friendly solutions are increasingly demanded, and single-use systems have developed into an overwhelming market trend. Incorporating these factors into the PharmaLok has resulted in an ideal solution for our customers."

Easily operated with one hand, PharmaLok's patent pending design allows effortless attachment of fittings to bag ports and filters. The user simply rests the fitting in the PharmaLok's regulation-sized slot, lightly grips the surrounding handles, and listens for the sound of three clicks to confirm a secure connection.

Value Plastics' new PharmaLok hygienic clamps are made of a glass-filled nylon material that is both USP Class VI and ISO 11137 certified, and ASME BPE 2009 DT-5-3 compliant.
