This sampler is modular, comprising various units that can be tailored to specific requirements. At its core, the sampling mechanism features a PRISEMASSON® valve, which can be fitted with either a syringe or a bottle adapter, facilitating versatile sample collection methods. Capable of reaching depths up to 4 meters, the UPR reactor sampler operates efficiently within a pressure range of 6 to 10 bar and temperature extremes from -20°C to +140°C, making it a robust solution for your sampling needs.

PFA-coated top of reactor sampling system with modular mechanism for safe, reliable sampling to meet the requirements of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

VARIANTS

The UPR top of reactor sampling systems are designed with drive possibilities and the sampling unit options. Depending on the product's characteristics and safety requirements, BIAR SA provides two options: a bottle adapter or a PFA-coated piston injector. This versatility ensures safe and efficient sampling, even in high-risk environments.

Sampling units

The sampling unit for each UPR is modular, depending on the nature of the product and safety requirements. BIAR SA offers either sampling with adapter (FAV) and bottle, or the safer variant with a PFA-coated syringe (ZRP). This flexibility ensures safe and efficient sampling, even in high-risk environments.

The FAV threaded adapter installed with the UPR eliminates the need to replace the sampling valve when changing bottles. Designed for standard PP28, GL32 and GL45 bottles. Easy to use, it also simplifies sampling point management while keeping costs down
