Disposable valve connects sterile fluid
paths
The Lynx ST connector is a disposable valve that connects fluid paths in a sterile manner, enabling sterile, secure connections between disposable fluid paths and stainless steel process equipment
The Lynx ST (SteamTo) connector is a disposable valve that connects fluid paths in a sterile manner Ideally designed for a broad range of applications, including sterile liquid transfer and process sampling, the Lynx ST connector ensures secure connections between pre-sterilised single use disposable assemblies and stainless steel systems

Unlike conventional aseptic connections where sterility is operator and procedure dependent, the Lynx ST connector is pre-assembled to the disposable fluid path and gamma sterilised.
The risk of process sterility failure associated with aseptic connection techniques is eliminated by steam-in-place (SIP) procedures, which sterilise the stainless-steel equipment/piping and the connector interface before any fluid is transferred or sampled.
The simplicity of the connector construction allows flexibility of use and compatibility with many disposable fluid-path configurations.
In addition, the Lynx ST connector consists of high-temperature resistant PEI (polyetherimide) with a locking cam action for reliable operation.
The Lynx ST connector is a step toward the future "Plastic Factory" vision, which describes a complete manufacturing process constructed entirely of disposable, single-use flow paths.
