Benefits

Save Time, Reduce Risk

The VANTIJ™ GPTS enhances efficiency with an in-line spectrometer, providing fast pass/fail results and eliminating offline analysis. It features a QR code scanner, alarms, and automatic pressure control for accurate testing. These improvements save time and ensure proper testing conditions.

GPTS control units are configured to handle Planova 15N, 20N or 35N filters

Flexibility

VANTIJ™ GPTS control units support Planova 15N, 20N, or 35N filters, each with a perpetual software license for one filter type. Units for 15N or 20N can add a second license for flexibility in multi-product environments, while 35N units are exclusive to 35N filters. The system also includes an optional pre-GPT wash phase, automating the transition from wash to filtration without user input.

Single-Filter GPTS Mechanical System Description

  • Four-port inlet valve manifold (diluted integrity testy solution, air, pre-GPT wash solution, water).
  • Dry line detection.
  • Planova differential pressure measurement.
  • Feed side flow measurement and totalization.
  • In-line VIS spectrometer
  • Backpressure control valve.
  • Fractionation manifold for permeate collection.
  • Cleaning by water rinse and air blowdown.

Multi-Filter GPTS Control Units

The 1F GPTS reduces the GPT set-up, operation, and measurement time by over 50% for one Planova 20N filter. The 6F and 10F GPTS units further increase these time savings for 6 and 10 filters respectively, providing significant efficiency for processes using multiple filters or facilities with high filter usage.

  • Multi-Filter GPTS units enhance efficiency for batches with three or more filters or facilities using over 100 filters annually.
  • Multiple filters can be mounted and processed sequentially, reducing set-up time and labor costs.

How does the GPTS improve the Gold Particle Test process?

The GPTS enhances efficiency and accuracy by integrating a novel in-line visual spectrometer that measures absorbance directly, eliminating the need for sample handling and offline spectrophotometer analysis. It calculates the Gold Particle Logarithmic Reduction Value (AGP LRV) and provides pass/fail results quickly.

What types of Planova filters are compatible with the GPTS?

The GPTS is designed to work with Planova 15N, 20N, and 35N filters.

How many filters can be tested using a single GPTS unit?

We offer both single-filter (1F) and multi-filter (6F and 10F) GPTS options. Depending on your production needs, you can choose the configuration that best fits your throughput requirements. The multi-filter options allow simultaneous testing of up to six or ten Planova filters, significantly increasing efficiency in large-scale operations.
