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.
