Colder Products Company, the leader in the design and manufacture of single-use connection technology and connectors for the life sciences markets, has expanded its MPC/MPX Back-to-Back Adapters product offering to now include inserts.

MPC/MPX Back-to-Back Adapters give end users the flexibility of connecting single-use systems that feature identical coupling connections at the end of their tubing. Colder Products Company will be exhibiting this product at BioPharma Asia Convention (Singapore) 2014.

“MPC and MPX quick connects are an industry standard and the new back-to-back insert adapters build upon the successful introduction of our back-to-back body adapters,” said John Boehm, business unit manager, bioprocessing markets. “End-users will benefit from the added process flexibility of connecting two separate single-use systems that both incorporate female body connectors, as well as easily combining systems that incorporate different tubing sizes.”

The easy-to-use MPC/MPX Back-to-Back Adapters provide a solution for end-users when challenged with making a connection with identical connector halves. Combining both MPC and MPX couplings provides a reducing option for users who need to transition between tubing diameters ranging from 1/8- to 1/2-inch.

MPC/MPX Back-to-Back insert adapters are compatible with industry standard MPC and MPX polycarbonate and polysulfone female connectors. Able to withstand gamma and autoclave sterilization, MPC/MPX Back-to-Back insert adapters are offered in polysulfone material. Colder’s bioprocessing connections are manufactured in an ISO Class 7 certified cleanroom and meet USP Class VI material standards.

The new MPC/MPX Back-to-Back insert adapters are an addition to Colder’s family of single-use connectors that include sterile connect and disconnect solutions.Available in a full range of 1/8- to 1-inch flow configurations, the single-use connection technology from CPC provides ease-of-use, robust construction and reliable performance for transferring valuable media for a wide range of applications including single-use bag and tubing assemblies, cell banking systems, bioreactors, mixers, sampling and filling.
