CPC: Steam-Thru Connections STC1700101

STC17001003/8 Hose Barb x 3/4 x 3/4 Sanitary SIP Connector STC1700100 presents a 3/8 Hose Barb x 3/4 x 3/4 Sanitary SIP Connector engineered from Polysulfone with a natural finish and amber tint, conforming to USP Class VI standards. Designed for biopharmaceutical processing, it operates within a temperature range of 39°F to 104°F and handles pressures ranging from vacuum to 20 psi, accommodating diverse application requirements. Featuring Steam-Thru Connections, it enables rapid and sterile connections between biopharmaceutical processing equipment and disposable bag and tube assemblies. Its single-use design eliminates the need for extensive cleaning procedures and reduces the validation burden associated with reusable components, optimizing operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Key features include an innovative three-port design facilitating a genuine steam-through SIP process, eliminating "dead legs" and the need for laminar flow hoods. The patented valve system ensures sterile connection and disconnection, allowing high media flow rates crucial for bioprocessing. Additionally, the thumb latch and tear-away sleeve provide secure valve positioning and visual indication of the process stage, enhancing usability and process control. STC1700100 offers industry-standard terminations, allowing swift connections to process equipment and compatibility with various sizes of flexible tubing. Its ADCF-free materials meet stringent BSE/TSE requirements, ensuring product integrity and safety. Supporting multiple sterilization methods, including gamma irradiation, autoclaving, and Steam-In-Place (SIP), it accommodates diverse biopharmaceutical manufacturing protocols. With its robust design and safety features, STC1700100 is an indispensable component for bioprocessing applications, delivering reliability, efficiency, and compliance.
