Click connector for quick flow

Colder Products Company, a leader in single-use connection technology, introduces the new AseptiQuik® connectors in sizes S (1/8") and X (1") at ACHEMA 2012 (Booth 9.0 C20). Biopharmaceutical manufacturers now have the opportunity to choose from a full product range of robust and sterile connectors, i.e., with flow variants from 1/8" to 1".

"Manufacturers benefit from the wide selection of sterile connectors both for sampling and for harvesting cell cultures from a 1,000-liter mixing vessel," explains John Boehm, Bioprocessing Business Manager at Colder Products Company. "The new sizes of sterile connectors demonstrate our ongoing commitment to developing new solutions for greater process flexibility and improved performance."

The small AseptiQuik version in 1/8" and the previously introduced connector for tubing with 1/4" ID are suitable for applications with low flow and offer an easy-to-use design for reliable connections without additional clamps, fittings, or tube welding machines. They can be used, for example, in single-use applications with bioreactors, cell culture setup, and sampling. Possible connection options include the 3/4" sanitary connection, MPC connector, and tubing sleeves with 3.2mm and 6.4mm inner diameter.

The 1" AseptiQuik X connector allows simple and quick sterile connections for applications with higher flow rates, even in a non-sterile environment. This new connector significantly reduces the transport time of larger media volumes; saving valuable time and greatly improving process workflows. Applications include larger-scale single-use setups with bioreactors, mixing vessels, and transfer lines. Connections include the 1 1/2" sanitary connection and tubing sleeves for 19.5mm and 25.4mm inner diameter tubing.

Colder's bioprocess connectors are manufactured in a certified ISO Class 7 cleanroom and meet USP Class VI standards.

The Colder experts can demonstrate on-site how to integrate the new single-use connectors into various applications during the trade fair.
