Aseptic Disconnector Makes Tubing Disconnection Easy

Sartorius Stedim Biotech has launched new sizes XS and S of the Clipster aseptic disconnector, in addition to the existing size L. This single-use device allows an aseptic disconnection of silicone (Pt) as well as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubes in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. It is safe, quick, easy to use and available as a standalone product or pre-mounted on single-use transfer lines and bag assemblies.

The Clipster Aseptic Disconnector is used after a fluid transfer to disconnect transfer lines and bag assemblies. The disconnection of tubes can be performed in non-classified and classified environments while maintaining product sterility. It is performed with a handheld tool that ensures easy execution in various space requirements. The Clipster Aseptic Disconnector XS, S or L can be applied to multiple tubing material (silicone and TPE) and sizes from 1/8” x 1/4” up to 1/2” x 3/4”.

The validation of this key single-use device has been carried out under the most stringent test regimes. Biological and physical tests have been combined to provide data representing a variety of process conditions including critical applications.
