Bio-Con pipe connection
Bio-Con shrinkwrapped in a blind cover fora Varivent housing.
There are various options for the pipe connection:
- Bio-Con for pipe Ø DN40 - DN125 (other sizeson request)
- Welding connection
- Bio-Con building construction for pipe systems

Different methods of sampling
The diagrams illustrate the difference between a single manual sample (middle diagram) and an automated periodic sampling (bottom diagram). With a manual sample only a short sample is collected as shown by the single red line.
With automated sampling samples are taken periodically giving a more complete crosscut of the production run.
Types of pipe connections
Two options are available for determining the location the sample is taken from.
1. The Bio-Con
The Bio-Con takes the sample from two locations simultaneously –the edge and the center of the pipe. Studies at Weihenstephan Technical University record a 99.99% capture rate of bacteria.
Another advantage of the Bio-Con is it creates a continual flow-through of the product at the sample point and therefore a more representative sample overall.
2. The welded connection
The disadvantage of the welded connection is a portion of the potential microorganisms will be missed. The same study as above records a capture rate of 90-92% of the potential microorganisms with a welded connection.
