Opta® SFT Aseptic Tube Connectors
Connect with Simplicity, Flexibility and Reliability
Biopharmaceutical processes demand fast, reliable and sterile connections for fluid transfer. The Opta® SFT single-use connector is designed to form a sterile connection between two pre-sterilized components. Quick and easy to use, Opta® connectors are extensively validated and backed by 100% in-house integrity testing. The Opta® SFT is available as a standalone component for end-user assembly with silicone or TPE tubing or can be pre-designed into a single-use assembly.
Biopharmaceutical operations at small and large scale depend on secure sterile connections for transferring fluids. Opta® SFT aseptic connectors are easy to use, adaptable for hybrid and single-use operations, and backed by validation testing and quality assurance. The simple 3-click operation ensures consistent results with every use.

Remove protective caps by pulling on the bottom flaps.Retract the collar that is fixed on the female connector to prepare for assembly.
Slide male and female connectors together until the two pins of the male connector “click” into place.
Join the grippers at the bottom of each membrane tape together. The grippers should also “click” into place.
Holding the grippers perpendicular to the connector bodies, rotate the device 90° so the membrane is in the horizontal position.
With the handle in one hand, gently remove the membrane horizontally with the other hand.
Slide the collar that has been retracted back in place and turn it clockwise until the lock “clicks” into place.
Benefit from low extractable profiles for both silicone and TPE tubing to transfer critical fluids across process steps.
