Opta® SFT Sterile connector

The Opta^® SFT range of sterile connectors allows fast and reliable sterile connection and sterile fluid transfer between two separate, pre-sterilized process components in biopharmaceutical manufacturing operations.

This connector has been qualified by applying stringent test regimes, including passing a bacterial challenge test.

A gendered connection approach supports “error proofing” of fluid flow designs to prevent connection errors. Both male and female connector couplings are sealed with a sterilizing grade PES membrane which enables operators to perform an aseptic connection in non-classified & classified environments maintaining sterile fluid transfer.

• Sterilizable by gamma irradiation & autoclave: Flexible implementation of hybrid single-use and multiple-use technologies
• 100 % of connectors integrity tested: high security

The Opta^® SFT-I & D connectors can be integrated into Sartorius assemblies and are also available as individual components for end-user assembly with silicone & TPE tubing respectively.

• 3-step operation: Fast, robust and repeatable connections
• All hose barb connections intensively qualified: Reliable and robust tubing assemblies
• Fully integrated supply chain for Opta^® SFT incorporating single-use assemblies from Sartorius: Streamlined supply chain, high security of supply
