Abstract: An aseptic coupling arrangement can include a first coupling device and a second aseptic coupling device. In one embodiment, the first and second coupling devices are substantially similar, each having a main body defining a front face and a fluid passageway therethrough. A first connecting feature disposed on the main body of each coupling device may be provided for aligning and coupling the aseptic devices together. Each coupling device may also include a sealing member received in the main body and a membrane removably coupled to the main body front face to cover the sealing member. The first aseptic coupling device may also include a rotatable protective cover that is removably attached to the main body and connected to the membrane. In one embodiment, the removal of the protective covers away from two coupled main bodies, in a direction parallel to the front faces, causes removal of the membranes.

Abstract: A genderless interface connector pull tool is used for removing a membrane from a genderless interface connector. The tool may include a clamp and a hand grip. The clamp is configured to clamp a genderless interface connector and may include a top clamp coupled with a bottom clamp, and a pair of rails located on a top surface of the top clamp. The hand grip may include a grip head which is formed with a hook and one or more openings. The hook is configured to engage with a tab of the genderless interface connector that is connected to a membrane. The one or more openings are dimensioned to fit with the pair of rails so that the hand grip can slide on the rails to pull the tab. Thus, the membrane connected to the tab can be removed from the genderless interface connector along the rails' direction.

Abstract: An aseptic coupling device for a tube, the device comprising:



a tubular insert defining a channel and having an end segment provided with means for connecting it to the tube, the tubular insert being provided with a cantilevered rod extending axially inside the channel; and
an annular body having an end segment mounted on the insert and co-operating therewith to define a housing for receiving an annular sealing element that is deformable from a first state in which it defines a flow section greater than the cross section of the rod and a second state in which it tightly surrounds the rod, and that is arranged to be taken from its first state to its second state under the effect of axial compression exerted by the insert.




A coupling assembly for coupling two tubes together.

Abstract: An aseptic connector includes first and second matable housings each comprising a plurality of connectors for fluid conduits. The fluid conduits enter the housings and may be force-fitted onto barbs or flanges on one side of the connectors, or may instead be molded directly onto the connectors. When the housings are joined, the opposite sides of the connectors mate to form fluid seals, thereby establishing fluid pathways between now-connected sets of tubes.

Abstract: An aseptic low-temperature coupling assembly includes a first connector, a second connector, and a gasket disposed in the first or the second connector. The first and second connectors include a first retaining feature and a second retaining feature configured to couple together the first and the second connectors and align openings in the first and second connectors. The gasket is formed to have no substantial deformation after being cooled to at least −50° C. then heated to ambient temperature. A method of aseptically connecting a low-temperature fluid storage container includes coupling a first connector to a second connector via first retaining features and second retaining features of the connectors. The coupling compresses a gasket between the first connector and the second connector and aligns an opening in the first connector with an opening in the second connector.
