    Simple & Fast Operation Principle The Opta® SFT Sterile Connector consists of a female and a male coupling body that once assembled create the sterile fluid path via an easy 3-step operation. The removal of the protective plastic caps attached to each coupling prepares for assembly. After sliding the male and female coupling heads together, the sterile barrier membrane is pulled out to create the sterile fluid path. Finally, the locking collar is screwed into place. The Opta® SFT Sterile Connector is now ready for the sterile fluid transfer.

    Operating Sequences

    1. Remove protective cap and connect the Opta® SFT male and female connectors – correct connection validated by a click

    2. Remove membranes

    3. Screw the collar – correct screwing validated by a click

    DescriptionFlexel®3D standard bags are designed for processing, storage and transport of large volume biopharmaceutical solutions in drums. They provide a single-use alternative to traditional stainless steel vessels in a large variety of applications.

    Cost Reduction and Risk ReductionSingle-use Systems used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing improve process safety as they reduce the risk of cross contamination from batch-to-batch and product-to-product. Costly and time consuming CIP & SIP opera-tions are minimized. This results not only in significant cost savings within the entire manufacturing process, but also in the optimization of capacity utilization.

    ApplicationsThe multi-layer film construction of different materials provides a strong structure with low gas permeability and high chemical resistance for the safe processing of a wide range of biopharmaceutical fluids in a variety of appli-cations such as:

    – Buffers and Media filtration & storage

    – Bulk harvest

    – Product pooling

    – Fraction collection

    – Sample collection

    – Bulk intermediate filtration & hold

    – Final product storage and transport

    FlexibilityStandard Flexel® bags for drums are available as stand-alone bags with Silicone tubing, stand-alone bags with C-Flex tubing and Fil-ter & Bag assemblies incorporating a variety of filter and bag sizes allowing easy adoption to process volume and media. Multiple con-figurations that also integrate thermoweld-able TPE tubing are provided for flexible incorporation into your process. Thus, sterile connection and disconnection devices like the BioWelder® and the BioSealer® can be used to allow safe connections and disconnections from and to another process step.

    Female luer fittings with a needle free sampling port may be used for easy and convenient sampling, quick connects may be attached directly or adapted to a variety of connections and tri-clamps that are widely used in a production environment assure maximum flexibility.

    DescriptionFlexel® 3D Bioprocessing Bags are designed for processing, storage and transport of large volume biopharmaceutical solutions in drum and Palletank®. They provide a single-use alternative to traditional stainless steel vessels in a large variety of applications. Normal process validation and in process control of the manufacturing provides a high degree of reliability of Flexel® 3D Bioprocessing Bags.

    For critical storage and processing appli-cations that require a higher degree of assurance, the integrity of each Flexel® 3D Bioprocessing Bag can be controlled with an optional test performed at Sartorius Stedim Biotech manufacturing plant.

    Integrity TestingLarge volume, single-use Flexel® 3D Bags are increasingly used for the handling, storage and transport of high value products, such as bulk drug substances and vaccines. For these applications, an in-process bag chamber integrity test can be performed during manufacturing at Sartorius Stedim Biotech. This in-process physical control, in combina-tion with the microbial challenge validation study is essential to provide the highest assur-ance level of the bag integrity. This optional test is performed on customer request for customized bag configurations.

    The integrity test method is derived from ASTM F2095: “Standard Leak Test for Nonporous Flexible Packages with Restraining Plates”. A pressure decay leak test is used to detect small channel defects in the seals or pinholes in the walls of the flexible bag.

    The test method is non destructive and com-patible with a 100% on-line implementation in Sartorius Stedim Biotech grade C clean rooms. The in-process test is performed on sealed bag chambers after the welding of the bag port and before assembly with the fill and drain lines.
