Genderless Sterile Connectors: How They Can Increase Efficiency, Saving You Time and Money

Standardizing equipment in biopharmaceutical production streamlines operations, saving end users time and money. An area ripe for standardization is the use of genderless connections, those in which the connector halves are identical in design. Historically, single-use connections have involved male and female halves, but using two different parts can create several inefficiencies and complications, such as

By standardizing single-use genderless connectors, end users can accomplish more with fewer finished goods, save time, reduce overhead costs, and get their biopharmaceutical products to market more efficiently. Benefits include

Overall, genderless connector standardization will help bioprocessing facilities simplify their operations and implement single-use technology to its full potential.
