Make a quick and easy sterile connection between stainless steel processing equipment and tubing assemblies. Ideal for general-purpose, laboratory, and single-use applications to connect tubing with the rest of your system. Free technical application support available to determine which connector type is needed for your application. Manufactured in an ISO Class 7 certified cleanroom to minimize contamination by pollutants. Innovative three-port steam design. Offers both “steam on” and “steam off” functionalities. Steam-Thru II thumb latch secures valve position. 3/4" sanitary connection for condensate port|0.5" nominal flow path size. The CPC® (Colder) Steam-Thru® II connectors feature a unique three-port design for a true steam-through steam-in-place (SIP) process, eliminating dead legs and the need for a laminar flow hood. Use the Steam-Thru II SIP connection to sterilize the fitting while connected to stainless steel equipment. The Steam-Thru II connection offers the flexibility of “steam on” and “steam off” functionality, allowing a second SIP cycle following media transfer. The “steam off” function helps minimize cross-contamination risks associated with reusable components. Select from 3/4" and 1-1/2" sanitary connections for attachment to the processing equipment. Connectors withstand temperatures up to 135°C (275°F) for 60 minutes during SIP. All connectors are made from animal-derived component-free materials, making them ideal for a wide range of biopharmaceutical, bioprocessing, cell therapy, gene therapy, and other critical-use applications. Fittings are manufactured, double bagged, and sealed in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom to ensure that the integrity is not compromised. An ISO Class 7 cleanroom utilizes HEPA filtration systems to maintain air cleanliness levels of less than 10,000 particles of 0.5 µm or larger per cubic foot.
