GE Healthcare has introduced ReadyMate genderless disposable aseptic connectors (DAC) for biopharmaceutical production.
The company said ReadyMate DAC offer a safer and more economic connection to assembly components, such as media bags and tubing for upstream and downstream applications.
ReadyMate reduces the complexity of biopharmaceutical production by decreasing parts inventories and eliminating the need for unique operator skills, specialised equipment, calibration, or servicing.
The patented DAC has a validated closure mechanism and provides users with the flexibility to quickly establish aseptic connections in non-controlled environments.
ReadyMate connectors are available in a range of tube sizes, from 1/4in to 3/4in (6.4mm to 19.1mm), to optimise the fluid flow path.
Their design enables the reduction or increase of the flow path size using a single connection.
The single-use connectors are designed to work under high-flow pressures with a ReadyClamp, or standard TC clamp, and are manufactured in compliance with current FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and ISO9000-2000.
ReadyMate DAC can be gamma sterilised or autoclaved.
GE Healthcare has acquired exclusive manufacturing rights for ReadyMate DAC.
