Perfusion and Continuous Processing

CPC sterile connectors provide flexibility for biopharmaceutical manufacturers to easily combine multiple components including process containers, tubing manifolds, single-use and metal transfer lines, bioreactors and other bioprocess equipment. When changeovers need to occur, CPC genderless connectors make it easy to connect components and processes. Multiple termination options meet today’s mounting and flow requirements.

Our team of bioprocessing design and application engineers develop innovative, high-quality products that make sterile media transfer safe and easy. Because perfusion and continuous processing systems vary as much as the options for tubing, connectors and filters, CPC aseptic connectors and disconnects come in an expanding variety of sizes, configurations, termination options and materials. Innovative connection methods ensure ease of use and connection assurance.

CPC sterile connectors are purpose-built for bioprocessing applications like upstream perfusion and continuous processing. By helping maintain aseptic transfer of media, CPC sterile connectors facilitate getting the best yields at a cost-effective price. All CPC aseptic connection solutions are rigorously tested including materials testing, product testing and torture testing to failure to meet product specifications. As a matter of fact, CPC offers reliable, reproducible performance and provides validation and extractable reports that support the performance attributes.

Built to manage the continuous processing transfer requirements of cell culture production, CPC sterile connectors deliver optimized flowrates with excellent flow to size ratio for superior performance. CPC purpose-built bioprocessing connectors are precision engineered to be compatible with a wide variety of media, chemicals and systems. We provide a unique combination of industry expertise with the broadest portfolio of products including sterile connects, sterile disconnects, SIP connections and quick connects.

Increased volume and product diversity is driving manufacturers to design their facilities for shorter production runs with multiple changeovers. Single-use bags and transfer lines use CPC MPC or MPX Connections and SaniQuik™ Adaptors for quick changeovers. Robust and easy-to-use single-use connectors from CPC maintain flow path sterility and integrity while enabling biopharmaceutical manufacturers to use perfusion and continuous processing systems to improve productivity, decrease time-to-market and reduce costs.

CPC has a proven track record of providing products consistently under their stated specifications and quality requirements through having a strong supply assurance program. The program includes control of the manufacturing process from raw materials to final product manufacturing. Biopharma customers have confidence in CPC’s ability to fulfill demand acquired by a track record of accurate lead times, identifying and communicating potential delays and, most importantly, by sound supply chain management.
