Abstract:
A sanitary fluid transport coupling can include a plurality of fluid conduits, each fluid conduit having a distal end and a proximal end, a support element adapted to secure a spaced relationship between the plurality of second conduits at the distal end of the plurality of fluid conduits, and an overmolded element disposed adjacent the support element. The overmolded element can form a fitting that can form a fluid connection with another fluid conduit, fluid container, or isolated environment.
Abstract:
Beschrieben sind ein Verbindungssystem zum lösbar kraftschlüssigen Koppeln eines ersten Körpers (5) mit einen Flansch (25) an ein fluidführendes System und ein Verbindungssystem zum lösbar kraftschlüssigen Koppeln des Innenraums eines ersten fluidführenden Körpers (5) an den Innenraum eines zweiten fluidführenden Körpers (3). Der zweite Körper (3) hat ein zweites Ende mit einer umlaufenden Wand (22) und einem darauf befindlichen Membrankontaktabschnitt (9) und einer Öffnung (43). Ein Halteelement (2) hat einem Durchlass (35) und einen peripheren Außenrand (24), wobei eine Seite und/oder der Durchlass (35) des Halteelements (2) an die Membran (1) gekoppelt sind und auf der gleichen Seite eine ringförmigen Wand (26) angeordnet ist, die mit der umlaufenden Wand (22) des zweiten Körpers (3) verbunden ist. Die andere Seite ist für einen flächigen Kontakt mit dem Flansch (25) des ersten Körpers (5) ausgelegt. Das Halteelement (2) kann auch in den zweiten Körper (3) integriert sein, wenn der erste Körper(5) fluidführend ist. Das lösbare Verbindungselement (4) ist dazu ausgelegt zumindest teilweise den peripheren Außenrand (24) des Halteelements (2) und den Flansch (25) des ersten Körpers (5) zu umgreifen.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a fluid connection including a plurality of flexible polymeric tubes; an integral fluid connector coupled to and in fluid communication with each of the plurality of tubes; and a shell disposed over and encapsulating the fluid connector. The fluid connection surprisingly exhibiting significant increases in the working pressure, particularly in biopharmaceutical fluid transfer systems.
Abstract:
A multi-lumen surgical utility connector is configured to receive two or more utilities from a surgical utility supplying device. The multi-lumen surgical utility connector may be connected to a utility port of the surgical utility supplying device which supplies two or more utilities. 5 The multi-lumen surgical utility connector may include a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag which identifies the type or model of multi-lumen surgical utility connector. The surgical utility supplying device may determine the type and parameters of utilities to be supplied through the multilumen surgical utility connector based on information read from the RFID tag.
Abstract:
Fluidic connection assemblies, ports, unions and other components are provided that are well-suited for use in HPLC and UHPLC, as well as in other analytical instrument systems. Such assemblies, ports, unions and components can be biocompatible. The present disclosure overcomes one or more of the deficiencies of the prior art by providing fluidic connection assemblies that are well-suited for use in Al and LC systems, and are particularly well-suited in some embodiments for use in high pressure and ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography systems, such as HPLC and UHPLC.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a connector (1) for substantially aseptic connection of tubing, comprising: a) a central tubular stem member (2) with a line connection end (3) and a coupling end (5) having an annular gasket (6) arranged to engage a similar annular gasket (26) on a similar second connector (21) in sealing abutment and; b) a tubular socket member (7), concentrically arranged outside the stem member, having a flange (8) concentrically arranged outside the coupling end and comprising a cover film (9) releasably bonded to the flange and covering the coupling end of the stem member, the annular gasket and at least a portion of the flange; wherein the socket member is rotatable around the stem member and wherein the connector further comprises an annular seal member (10) in sealing abutment between an inside (11) of the socket member and an outside (12) of the stem member.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1), in particular for producing a fluid connection, comprising a first connection element (2) and a second connection element (2). The two connection elements (2) are substantially identical and can be connected to each other in a fluid-tight manner, each connection element (2) having a flow channel (3), a connection region (5), and a closure bracket (4). The connection region (5) has a connection surface (21) which has an opening (29) that is fluidically connected to the flow channel (3), and each connection element (2) can be at least partly surrounded by the closure bracket (4) of the respective other connection element (2), said connection surface (21) being covered by a removable membrane (28), wherein at least the opening (29) is completely covered by the membrane (28).
Abstract:
Fluid transfer device and method that allows for sterile wet connections, allows the connection to be reversed, and allows the connection to be reconnected, while leaving the connectors sterile and reusable under pressure. In certain embodiments, the device includes a first member and a second member, the latter adapted to receive the former in locking engagement upon actuation of the device to create fluid communication between the two in a sterile manner. Each of the members include a door that when opened, allows the first member to be linearly displaced into the second member to allow fluid to be transferred. When fluid transfer is complete, the first member can be retracted from the second member, and the doors closed.
