Aseptiquik® STC II Series Connectors

AseptiQuik® STC Connectors combine the AseptiQuik® sterile connector and the Steam-Thru® II SIP connector, giving manufacturers greater flexibility between hybrid stainless steel and single-use processing equipment.
The union of the two connectors into a single unit through a sanitary clamp allows an AseptiQuik sterile connection to be steamed on to stainless equipment via SIP. After the SIP cycle, a wide range of single- use systems can be connected.

Features	Benefits
AseptiQuik design	Innovative three-step connection process reduces risk of operator error
Genderless Design	Eases integration of single-use systems with universal mating between AseptiQuik G Connectors
Robust Construction	Repeatable and reliable performance with no additional hardware required
Patented Steam Valve Design	Allows sterile connection and disconnection to stainless equipment and permits a high media flow rate.
Sanitary Interface Between the Two Connectors	More secure connection than tubing with cable ties
CPC Click	Audible confirmation of assembly steps
Market Availability	Open access through multiple supply chain partners
