Aptar CSP Technologies Partners With QualiTru to Develop TruDraw® Aseptic Sampling System for Liquid Dairy Products
Aptar CSP Technologies has partnered with aseptic sampling specialist QualiTru Sampling Systems to develop TruDraw®, a single-use aseptic sampling system for sampling of liquid dairy products. Particularly relevant to milk producers, the product virtually eliminates the risk of external exposure, ensuring an unprecedented level of sampling accuracy.
Comprised of a disposable blue cap with a sterile two-ounce container, TruDraw reportedly provides the highest possible protection against environmental exposure affecting a sample’s accuracy. The comprehensive aseptic sampling system also incorporates a security seal that is unmistakably and irrevocably destroyed upon first opening – a tamper-evident feature placing the certified sampling person at the start of a controlled chain of custody process. As a result, the likelihood of a sample’s adulteration prior to its testing is vastly diminished.
Designed for use in conjunction with QualiTru’s TruStream® sanitary sampling ports, TruDraw allows for drawing from the side or rear of a trailer, eliminating the need to climb atop it.
To use TruDraw the certified sampling person twists the system’s blue cap into alignment with the vial’s tab and hinge, respectively, then presses down on the blue cap until it pierces through the vial’s lid. After removing the needle’s safety cover, TruDraw is inserted into the sampling septum, and product is drawn into the container. Once filled, the certified sampling person removes and discards the blue cap, with the sample securely and aseptically sealed until the tamper-evident label is broken at the testing facility.
