The Opta® SFT range of sterile connectors enables fast and reliable sterile bonding and fluid transfer between two separate, pre-sterilized process components in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. "Male" and "female" couplings reinforced with a PES membrane allow sterile fluid transfer in unclassified and classified environments. OPTA® SFT-I connectors can be integrated into Sartorius Stedim Biotech systems and are also available as individual silicone tube assembly devices. Opta® SFT-D is available as a single assembly device with TPE tubes and autoclave sterilization.
