Conclusion: Colder Products Company provides a comprehensive range of connection solutions for biopharmaceutical processes, ensuring sterile and reliable connections with innovative designs and robust materials.
Stainless Steel Equipment and Single-Use Systems: The document also covers stainless steel biopharmaceutical processing equipment and single-use bag and tube systems, focusing on AseptiQuik StC Connectors. These connectors facilitate a Steam-in-Place (SiP) process, allowing sterile connections between stainless processing equipment and disposable systems.
Features and Benefits:
  • Three-Port Design: Enables a true steam-through SiP process, eliminating 'dead legs' and the need for laminar flow hoods.
  • Patented Valve Design: Allows sterile connection and disconnection with high media flow rates.
  • Thumb Latch/Tear-Away Sleeve: Secures valve position and provides a visual indicator of the process stage.
  • Material Compliance: BSE/TSE free materials meet ADCF requirements.
Specifications:
  • Pressure: Up to 35 psi in steam position and up to 20 psi in flow position.
  • Temperature: Steam position supports up to 275°F for 60 minutes; flow position ranges from 39°F to 104°F.
  • Materials: Polysulfone and silicone components, all USP Class VI and ADCF compliant.
  • Sterilization: Supports gamma irradiation up to 50 kGy and autoclave conditions.
Steam-Thru II Configurations: Offers flexibility with 'steam on' and 'steam off' functionality, minimizing cross-contamination risks. The design allows for a second SiP cycle after media transfer.
Applications: Suitable for fermentation, media/buffer preparation, filtration/purification, and fill/finish applications. Can be integrated into bag systems or transfer lines.
AseptiQuik STC Connectors: Combines AseptiQuik sterile connectors with Steam-Thru II SIP connectors, enhancing flexibility for hybrid processing. Features include intuitive aseptic connection steps and robust construction for reliable performance.
FAQs: Addresses common questions about the use and mounting of Steam-Thru and Steam-Thru II connectors, emphasizing their versatility and application in various processes.
Additional Specifications:
  • Pressure range: Vacuum to 60 psi (4.1 bar).
  • Temperature range: Polycarbonate: -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C); Polysulfone: -40°F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°C).
  • Main materials: Polycarbonate and Polysulfone, both USP Class VI, ADCF. O-rings are made of silicone, platinum-cured, USP Class VI, ADCF.
  • Sterilization: Gamma irradiation up to 50 kGy; Autoclave for Polycarbonate up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes, up to 10 repetitions; Polysulfone up to 270°F (132°C) for 60 minutes, up to 25 repetitions. Sterilize uncoupled only.
  • Tubing Sizes: 1/8" to 1/2" ID (3.2mm to 12.7mm).
Procedures and Recommendations:
  • Ensure tubing meets stated inside and outside diameters.
  • Test the suitability of Colder’s products in specific application conditions due to potential effects of pressure, temperature, chemicals, and operating environment on performance.
  • Use ergonomic thumb latches for easy operation, even with gloved hands.
  • Utilize parting line-free hose barbs to eliminate potential leak paths.
Product Features:
  • MPC and MPX Series couplings offer ease of use and security for fluid handling applications.
  • Optional locking sleeves are available to prevent accidental disconnects.
  • Coupling halves can rotate when connected to reduce tube kinks.
  • Compatible with MPC and MPX Series inserts for easy conversion and transition between tubing sizes.
Sanitary Series:
  • Sanitary couplings attach directly to 3/4", 1", and 1-1/2" sanitary terminations.
  • Compatible with both stainless steel and plastic clamps.
  • Integral coupling adaptor allows easy conversion of sanitary terminations on filter cartridges or equipment.
Warnings:
  • Customer responsibility to test product suitability in their application conditions.
  • Actual performance may vary based on specific coupling configurations.
Specifications for 3/4" Hose Barb:
  • Pressure range: Vacuum to 35 psi (2.4 bar).
  • Temperature range: -40°F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°C).
  • Main materials: Polysulfone (amber tint), USP Class VI, ADCF.
  • O-rings: Silicone (clear), platinum-cured, USP Class VI, ADCF.
  • Sterilization methods: Gamma irradiation up to 50 kGy, autoclave up to 270°F (132°C) for 60 minutes, up to 25 repetitions.
