Bearing GMP 500 / 1000 (NovAseptic Style)
Kest Retrofit for GMP 500 / 1000
Improved NovAseptic bearing
The KEST Retrofit bearing is an improved version of the NovAseptic bearing. Made of Zirconium dioxide ceramic, it can run dry without damaging. Making the mixing process far more efficient.
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
The bearings are 100% corresponding with the Silicone carbide NovAseptic bearings, but have an extended lifespand because of the material. Zirconium dioxide is chemically unreactive, making it very suitable for applications in biotechnology. The biggest advantage over Siliciumcarbide (used by NovAseptic) is the toughness and robustness, making it able to run dry. The bearings are delivered with a FDA and USP Class VI certificate.
