Weekly Innovation: AseptiQuik Connectors

Tubing and connection specialist Colder Products Company says its ‘AseptiQuik’ range of connectors permit single-use sterile connections to be made safely and quickly. The robust design has been created to allow a quick transfer of valuable media with less risk of operator error. The connectors also remove the requirement for clamps, fixtures or tube welding.

The newest addition to CPC’s sterile connection technologies, genderless AseptiQuik G connectors, have been designed to simplify single-use systems design and process integration, says the group. The design eliminates separate male and female components to reduce complexity and support modular system designs. Because the connectors are interchangeable — any single-use G series connector mates with any other G series connector — Colder Products says that systems can be made more flexible and minimise supply chain complexity.

The group also claims that the AseptiQuik family offers “the broadest range of single-use sterile connectors in the industry”, with flow configurations from 3.2mm to 25.4mm (1/8” to 1”). The range is particularly suited to applications where reliability and sterility are key, such as single-use bag and tubing assemblies, cell banking systems, bioreactors, mixers, sampling, formulation and filling.
