Description

General description

The uniquely designed Lynx S2S connector is a single-use, single actuation, gamma- and autoclave-compatible disposable device for connecting sterilized fluid paths in biopharmaceutical processes.

The SSCSHB2A01 Lynx S2S connector set is constructed of a female coupling and a male coupling. With these two components assembled, the sterile fluid path is enabled. Once assembled, the two components cannot be disassembled, reducing the risk of sterility breach.

This Lynx S2S unit has a 1/2 inch. diameter and a hose barb inlet/outlet connection.

Safe, Disposable Connectors

The Lynx S2S connector is disposable and intended for single-use, one-time actuation. There are no parts to clean-in-place, and the risk of contamination is reduced.

Sterility Assurance During Actuation

The Lynx S2S connector is 100% air-integrity tested in manufacturing. Connector sets were tested utilizing an aerosolized bacterial challenge method with 106 B. diminuta and direct bacterial soiling method with B. diminuta, assuring a sterile connection can be made in non-classified areas.

Application

Ideally suited to a broad range of applications including sterile liquid transfer and microbiological sampling, the Lynx S2S connector provides the optimum solution for making secure, safe connections between two sterilized single-use disposable assemblies.Sterile Liquid TransferThe Lynx S2S connector can be integrated with assemblies that include single-use capsules, tubing, and flexible containers. Pre-sterilized by gamma irradiation or autoclave and ready to use, these assemblies are ideal for a wide range of liquid transfer applications and can be easily integrated into both the bulk production and final fill processes, ensuring the secure transfer of your valuable product. Best of all, the entire assembly is disposable.Microbiological SamplingReplace your current rubber septum or valve and bottle sampling techniques with a pre-sterilized disposable sampling system. A number of flexible sampling containers can be linked to each other via a Lynx S2S connector, and the entire assembly can be sterilized by gamma irradiation. This sterile connection to the sample point minimizes the risk of false positives. For instance, bioreactor sampling at multiple sites requires a large investment in capital equipment, is labor intensive and open to the risk of contamination. By utilizing the Lynx S2S connector for bioreactor sampling at multiple sites, the process is now secured, aseptic connections are eliminated and capital equipment costs and overhead labor are significantly reduced.

Preparation Note

Sterilization Method
Gamma compatible up to 45 kGy; Autoclave once for 30 minutes @ 130 °C. Do not steam in place.
