Going genderless with sterile connections

Genderless AseptiQuik sterile connectors from CPC simplify single-use systems design and process integration. The interchangeable connectors support modular system design, reduce system complexity and help streamline the supply chain.

AseptiQuik genderless connectors are available in a full range of interchangeable 6.4 mm to 19.0 mm flow solutions, in both gamma and high-temperature versions.

For flexibility in hybrid processing applications, AseptiQuik G STC connectors integrate a genderless AseptiQuik sterile connector and the Steam-Thru II SIP connector. This integrated combination connector increases flexibility in process design and plant configuration, simplifies systems integration, and reduces both overall production costs and time to market. AseptiQuik G STC connectors enable manufacturers to steam-in-place CPC’s popular AseptiQuik G connector directly to stainless processing equipment.

Steam-Thru technology allows the SIP process to be completed in advance of the final connection, without having to wait up to 60 minutes for SIP prior to harvest or feed. After the SIP cycle, the genderless AspetiQuik G allows an easy sterile connection to a wide range of single-use systems, driving down cost by allowing the same bag system and tubing manifold SKUs s to be used on both hybrid and complete single-use systems.

CPC’s genderless and combination connectors are part of the AseptiQuik family which offers the broadest range of single-use sterile connectors in the industry. With flow configurations from 3.2 mm to 25.4 mm (1/8” to 1”), AseptiQuik connectors provide ease-of-use, robust construction and reliable performance for transferring valuable media and are ideal for single-bag and tubing assemblies, cell banking, bioreactors, mixers, sampling, formulation and filling applications.
