Clipster Components for Aseptic Disconnection
Overview
Clipster components are specialized single-use tools designed for the secure, mechanical disconnection of platinum-cured silicone or thermoplastic tubing. These components provide a validated method for maintaining fluid path sterility during the separation of single-use assemblies in non-classified environments.
Highlights
- Mechanical disconnection design ensures a permanent, leak-proof seal without the need for heat-sealing equipment.
- Maintains an aseptic fluid path across a wide range of process conditions and environments.
- Ergonomic manual operation allows for rapid and reproducible disconnection by any trained operator.
- Constructed from high-performance materials compatible with common sterilization methods and biopharmaceutical fluids.
At-a-glance
- Condition
- Surplus/second-hand; stored under manufacturer-recommended conditions.
Applications
Clipster components are utilized for the aseptic separation of single-use bags, tubing manifolds, and sampling assemblies. They are standard in downstream processing, cell culture media transfer, and final formulation of biopharmaceutical products where sterile integrity is critical during fluid line disconnection.

Responsible use & safety
- Require training/authorization before use.
- Inspect before operation; do not use if safety features are compromised.
- Follow manufacturer's manual for operation and maintenance.
- Equipment-specific guidance (e.g., keep airflow clear, replace filters regularly, decontaminate after use).
