Opta® SFT Aseptic Tube Connectors
Connect with Simplicity, Flexibility and Reliability
Biopharmaceutical processes demand fast, reliable and sterile connections for fluid transfer. The Opta® SFT single-use connector is designed to form a sterile connection between two pre-sterilized components. Quick and easy to use, Opta® connectors are extensively validated and backed by 100% in-house integrity testing. The Opta® SFT is available as a standalone component for end-user assembly with silicone or TPE tubing or can be pre-designed into a single-use assembly.
Opta® SFT Aseptic Connectors
Biopharmaceutical operations at small and large scale depend on secure sterile connections for transferring fluids. Opta® SFT aseptic connectors are easy to use, adaptable for hybrid and single-use operations, and backed by validation testing and quality assurance. The simple 3-click operation ensures consistent results with every use.
Connector couplings sealed with sterilizing-grade PES membrane, allowing for sterile fluid transfer in non-classified and classified environments.
A 3-click operation ensures fast, repeatable and consistent operation.
Male and female connector couplings make it possible to design flow direction into your process, preventing mistaken connections.
Connectors are 100% integrity tested to assure the highest quality for sterile fluid transfer.

6 Steps and 3 Clicks to Aseptic Connection
With Opta® SFT connectors, operators perform 6 steps, signaled by 3 clicks, to assure consistent aseptic connections every time.
Step 1
Remove protective caps by pulling on the bottom flaps.
Retract the collar that is fixed on the female connector to prepare for assembly.
Step 2
Slide male and female connectors together until the two pins of the male connector “click” into place.
Step 3
Join the grippers at the bottom of each membrane tape together. The grippers should also “click” into place.
Step 4
Holding the grippers perpendicular to the connector bodies, rotate the device 90° so the membrane is in the horizontal position.
Step 5
With the handle in one hand, gently remove the membrane horizontally with the other hand.
Step 6
Slide the collar that has been retracted back in place and turn it clockwise until the lock “clicks” into place.
