In bioprocessing, every connection matters. In modern therapies, vaccines, and other biologics, operational goals of sterility, safety, and efficiency are integral components. If there are compromises on fluid transfer, there are severe consequences, including contamination, expensive downtime, and complete loss of a production batch.

This ultrasonic connector features a hybrid design, utilizing smart materials and computer-based solutions, to transfer, continuously and seamlessly, up to 4 litters of sterile bioprocessing fluids. Designed for modern demanding bioprocessing, ImasteriConnect™ seamlessly integrates into any workflow.

What is Unique About ImasteriConnect™?

ImasteriConnect™ specifically and uniquely addresses the key problems facing field operators and engineers. Designed to surpass the goals of sterile connectors, the focus in ImasteriConnect™ is on sterile connection, configuring sterile connectors for a new standard in sterile connector systems:

1. Genderless Design – Maintains lower SKUs and inventory costs, as the single connector design adopts a universal design.
2. Aseptic Lock – Designed for efficiency, operators are confident establishing sterile connectors.
3. Gamma Sterilized & Ready-to-Use – Connectors come sterile, so they can be used right away in aseptic procedures, which helps streamline processes.
4. cGMP Compliant – Complies with the guidelines for the regulated manufacture of biopharmaceuticals everywhere in the world.

Why It Matters

Bioprocessing is all in the details, which ImasteriConnect™ can measure at each stage of production.

1. Enhanced Sterile Assurance – Certified leak-resistant design safeguards against contamination and the loss of valuable targets.
2. Improved Efficiency – Systems allow operators to complete sterile procedures up to 50% in less time relative to older systems.
3. Cost of Ownership – Direct savings can be attributed to the simplicity of inventory control, reduced downtimes, and less training.
4. Enhanced Safety – Tight, spill-proof systems diminish the risk of accidents to valuable products and personnel.
5. Universal Compatibility – Works across applications in bioprocess systems including upstream and downstream processing, vaccines, cell therapy, and fill-finish.

Applications across Bioprocessing

ImasteriConnect™ design flexibility allows for a range of biopharmaceutical manufacturing applications.

Cell & Gene Therapy – Provides sterile and reliable transfer of delicate and high-value materials, where contamination is not an option.
