Authors: Sartorius | Last updated: December, 2025.
Overview
Sterility testing is a critical requirement in pharmaceutical manufacturing, confirming that each batch is free from viable microorganisms before release. That's why choosing a sterility testing pump that supports electronic reporting adds real value, enabling instant team access, built-in compliance with audit trails, and reliable data backup.
In this tutorial, we show you how to set up and execute secure data transfer from the Sterisart® Gen 4 system to a designated server via SMB. We walk you through the complete process, including creating an SMB connector, how to create an SMB print profile, and transferring reports to a shared folder via SMB.
- Create a task and assign an SMB Print Profile
