    MicroCNX® Series Connector

    See MicroCNX® Series Connector Products

    MicroCNX® Connectors are the only aseptic micro-connectors that provide a simple, efficient method of connecting tubing for small-format biomanufacturing assemblies. The MicroCNX line of connectors is engineered specifically for the challenging conditions of biological media transfer in bioprocessing, cell therapy, and gene therapy applications. The connector comes in a range of tubing sizes; a luer connection option to create a sterile, closed connection on an existing luer connection; and the ULT version is ideal for assemblies for cryogenic freezing cassettes or connection to PVC tubing.

    Cv Value (Typical Flow Rate)

    Cv Value Range: 0.04-0.27 
    Cv values represent the approximate expected flow rate in gallons per minute of water at room temperature for a 1 PSI pressure drop. The flow is generally constrained by the smallest diameter, which in some cases will be the termination diameter and not the Nominal Flow Path.
    WARNING: Pressure, temperature, chemicals and operating environment can affect the performance of couplings. It is the customer’s responsibility to test the suitability of Colder products in their own application conditions. Use the graph above as a guide.
