Sartorius Stedim Biotech, a leading international supplier for the pharma and biotech industries, has launched the Clipster Aseptic Disconnector. The new single-use device allows an aseptic disconnection of Silicone (Pt) tubing in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. It is safe, quick, easy to use and available as stand alone product or preassembled on single-use transfer lines and bag assemblies.

The Clipster Aseptic Disconnector is used after a fluid transfer to disconnect transfer lines and bag assemblies. The disconnection of tubes can be performed in non classified and classified environments while maintaining product sterility. It is performed with a hand-held tool which ensures easy execution in various space requirements. The Clipster Aseptic Disconnector can be applied to multiple sizes of Silicone tubing, such as 3/8"x 5/8" and 1/2" x 3/4".

The validation of this key single-use device has been carried out under the most stringent test regimes. Biological and physical tests were combined to provide data representing a variety of process conditions including critical applications.
