Sterilized fluid transfer systems containing tubing, connectors, clamps, valves, and disconnectors provide a critical link between disposable fluid paths and the various steps in your aseptic process, whether that is plastic-to-stainless or plastic-to-plastic. We offer three types of connectors and a crimping tool for sterile disconnection. We also can configure standard single-use assemblies with common types of commercially available tubing, such as platinum-cured silicone and C-Flex® 374 thermoplastic elastomer.
Reliable and easy to use, Lynx® connectors feature unique designs that enable fluid transfer and maintain sterility. Lynx® connectors are available separately or as part of a complete assembly.
Lynx® CDR Connector provides a reliable and validated connection for multiple transfers of sterile fluids. It is designed to provide flexibility in single-use bioprocessing by enabling up to six connections, disconnections, and reconnections of multiple flow paths while remaining sterile and leak-free. The Lynx® CDR Sterile Connector is available in a wide range of sizes, from 3/8- inch hose barb to 1½-inch TC, and configurations from sampling to intermediate additions to bulk liquid transfer. Connect, disconnect, and reconnect your single-use and hybrid systems both wet and under pressure.
Lynx® ST Connector lets you integrate steamable hard-piped process equipment with disposable sterile fluid paths. Available in ¼-inch, ½-inch, and 1-inch sizes, the Lynx® ST Connector provides an economical, easy, and reliable sterile connection for the secure transfer or sampling of sterile fluids. Lynx® ST Connector is gamma- and autoclave-compatible, making it ideal for integration into sterilized assemblies.
NovaSeal™ Crimping Tool securely seals and disconnects a single-use assembly into two sterile fluid paths. Available in manual and battery-powered format, the tool crimps and cuts a pinch-pipe and silicone tube at the same time in one simple motion. This pinch-pipe/tube combination and crimping tool provides you with a sterile means to cut and separate your Mobius® assembly, maintain sterility, and securely protect the fluid from the outside environment.
A holistic buffer management overview
Describes the mechanical strength of Lynx® CDR connectors during extreme steaming conditions as well as their ability to be steam sterilized.
This study was designed to determine the minimum time required to achieve sterilization of different assemblies containing tubing, filters, and Lynx® S2S connectors using both gender couplings and Lynx® ST connectors.
This technical brief summarizes data demonstrating the integrity and functionality of Lynx® S2S connectors after exposure to aggressive autoclave sterilization conditions.
The Lynx® CDR (Connect, Disconnect and Reconnect) device provides a reliable and validated connection for multiple transfers of sterile fluids.
The uniquely designed Lynx® S2S (sterile to sterile) connector is a single-use, single-actuation, gamma and autoclave compatible disposable device for connecting sterilized fluid paths in biopharmaceutical processes.

Securely seal and separate single-use tubing
This two-tiered study was designed to explore both how the connector may contribute to cell shear in flow rate conditions similar to those observed in typical 200 L perfusion bioprocesses, and also to demonstrate the efficacy of implementing a Lynx® CDR connector in an actual perfusion process using an XCell™ ATF 2 System.
In this study, the Lynx® CDR Connector was utilized during two typical bioprocessing steps (media preparation and bioreactor fill) where multiple connections/disconnections are required.
