Micro is Macro

Adopting one micro solution - aseptic connectors - can
have macro impacts on cell processing.

A Matter of Integrity 

The cutting-edge work of cell and gene therapy research and development does not match the integrity of the process. Now is the time to match the innovation and promise of advanced therapies with the manufacturing process of getting patients these therapies they desperately need. 

Risk Mitigation with Closed System Processing

Cell Processing Applications

Sterile Connectors used in the biosafety cabinet

The MicroCNX standard and Luer sterile connector terminations are a perfect solution to move assemblies outside of the biosafety cabinet. The MicroCNX Luer termination comes in a 1/8” flow path and has female and male terminations. The MicroCNX standard connects to 1/16”, 3/32” and 1/8” tubing. The easy-to-use three step connection process reduces risk of operator error.

Sterile connectors used in cell expansion

CPC’s MicroCNX sterile connection technology is ideal for making fast, efficient sterile closed-system connections across cell therapy applications from wash to final fill and everywhere in between within the cell therapy manufacturing process. CPC’s sterile connection technology is operator friendly, reduces the complexity of the connection process, and increases the overall consistency in a manufacturing environment.

Sterile connectors used in cell differentiation

See how micro-connectors can be used on a wave rocker to make easy connections and enable the next step in the process. CPC’s 3-step sterile connection process is easy to use. Remove the protective cover, snap the two genderless connector halves together, and pull the membranes to open the flow path across the newly joined single use systems.

What are MicroCNX® Series Connectors?

The small-format MicroCNX series connectors increase process design flexibility by integrating with different tubing sizes and materials. Their robust design, including innovative valves and genderless format, provides uncompromising reliability. Aseptic MicroCNX connectors help manufacturers be more efficient, reduce time, lower total costs and mitigate risk.

The Connector Solution for Cell and Gene Therapy.

MicroCNX Nano

Specifically designed for the challenging conditions of biological media transfer in CGT applications. It can withstand ultra low temperatures down to -190°C (cryogenic freezing applications)and is the lowest profile connector in the industry; ensuring a fit into any freezing cassette used in CGT processing. Like the original MicroCNX standard connector, the MicroCNX Nano provides a simple, efficient method of connecting tubing for small-format biomanufacturing assemblies. The MicroCNX Nano comes in 1/8" and 1/16" hose barb terminations for connection to a variety of tubing types including silicone, TPE and PVC.

MicroCNX ULT

The connector solution for cryogenic freezing applications and connections using PVC tubing. The MicroCNX ULT can be frozen down to vaporized liquid nitrogen temperatures (-190° C) and has increased compatibility with harsh chemicals. The MicroCNX ULT connects to 1/16”, 3/32” and 1/8” tubing sizes and can be gamma irradiated up to 50kGy and autoclaved one cycle up to 250° F for 30 minutes.​

MicroCNX Standard

The first aseptic, single-use connector on the market for small-format tubing, and the most efficient alternative to tube welding. The MicroCNX standard connects to 1/16”, 3/32” and 1/8” tubing and eases specification with one part number for both halves. The easy-to-use three step connection process reduces risk of operator error.​

MicroCNX Luer

The first aseptic, single-use connector on the market. The MicroCNX Luer is a sterile connection solution that enables a technician to make connections inside of the biosafety cabinet. The MicroCNX Luer termination comes in a 1/8” flow path and has female and male terminations. Also, lowers risk of operator error and related performance, reliability and safety concerns. The easy-to-use three step connection process reduces risk of operator error.​for small-format tubing, and the most efficient alternative to tube welding. The MicroCNX standard connects to 1/16”, 3/32” and 1/8” tubing and eases specification with one part number for both halves. The easy-to-use three step connection process reduces risk of operator error.​
