ASEPTIQUIK ® STC connectors
6Pages

Actual size AseptiQuik STC Connectors integrate the AseptiQuik® sterile connector and the Steam-Thru® II SIP connector, giving manufacturers even greater flexibility for hybrid stainless steel and single-use processing. The AseptiQuik STC connector combines either an AseptiQuik G or AseptiQuik C sterile connector with a Steam-Thru II connection that can be mounted directly to a stainless steel vessel via a sanitary termination. AseptiQuik STC connectors utilizing an AseptiQuik G sterile connector offer a genderless design, simplifying system integration at the aseptic connector end. AseptiQuik STC connectors utilizing an AseptiQuik C sterile connector allow system designers to incorporate a keyed female-to-male connection at the aseptic connector end. The union of the two connectors into a single unit through a sanitary clamp allows an AseptiQuik sterile connection to be steamed on to stainless equipment via SIP. After the SIP cycle, a wide range of single-use systems can be connected. The SIP process can be done in advance allowing a quick and easy sterile connection to the AseptiQuik half without having to wait 30-60 minutes for SIP prior to harvest.

Snap membrane pull tabs together and pull from connector. Twist the blue lock ring clockwise until audible “Colder Click.” Alignment of the lock ring rib with the body’s arrow indicator confirms final connection. Once the AseptiQuik assembly is complete and the steam trap has been closed, simply press the thumb latch to allow the valve to be pushed into the flow position. The “Colder Click” confirms the transition is complete. 7 Once the valve is locked into the flow position, you are ready for sterile fluid transfer to or from the process equipment. 8 After sterile media transfer is...
