IntroductionSterisafe sterile connectors are disposable, single-use devices that create a permanent sterile fluid connection between two fluid paths. Designed for biopharmaceutical and bioprocessing applications, the connector supports aseptic joins even when handled in non-sterile environments and uses an intuitive 3-step sequence for reliable operation.
Operation Steps - Step 1: Remove the protective housing, pull and detach the connection latch from the connector body.
- Step 2: Align the two coupling bodies and press them together until a click is heard; pull the membranes from the connector.
- Step 3: Insert both latches into the snapped connector body and press until a click confirms engagement.
FeaturesDisposable single-use design enabling permanent sterile fluid connections; intuitive 3-step operation for fast aseptic connections; suitable for use in non-sterile environments without compromising aseptic performance.
