Allegro™ single-use filling needles provide a cost-effective, unique direct replacement alternative to the stainless steel filling needles traditionally used for aseptic filling of liquids.
These needles deliver accurate and reliable dispensing across a broad range of drug products and dosing volumes.
Ready to use, single use
Autoclavable, gamma irradiatable
Product contact portion is PEEK (and polypropylene for luer connection)
Filling inaccuracy, dripping and needle clogging lead to costly product losses and process downtime at a critical stage in the manufacture of drug products. Allegro single-use filling needles overcome these challenges through the inherent hydrophobicity of their unique reinforced polyether ether ketone (PEEK) construction and their availability in a wide range of internal diameters. These combine to deliver accurate and reliable dispensing across a broad range of drug products and dosing volumes as part of an autoclaved assembly or when integrated into a gamma-irradiated single-use final filling assembly.
Complete single-use assemblies incorporating the Allegro needles simplify filling machine operation, reduce assembly time and needle installation risks. The needles come in different sizes: 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2 mm with female luer connection and 3.2, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm with a direct connection
