Colder Products Company will introduce its novel STC Steam-Thru connection to the international market at BioTechnica 2003, between 7th and 9th October 2003, in Hannover, Germany.
The unique STC streamlines critical steam-in-place processes and can be used in numerous biopharmaceutical applications.
The STC will be demonstrated at Colder Products' BioTechnica booth, Hall 2, booth C03.
The STC serves the dual function of valve and connection, eliminating the costly and labour-intensive steps of traditional steam sterilisation processes.
It also speeds the connection process and reduces the contamination risks associated with multiconnection steam-in-place applications.
Colder Products' STC enables biopharmaceutical companies to sterilise the flow path and initiate connections between a bioreactor and media bag without adding plumbing connections or additional steps to the process.
The uniquely designed STC uses a steam trap to rid the connection of steam during the sterilisation process.
This contrasts with traditional steam-in-place processes, which create "dead legs" where steam containing remnant micro-organisms become trapped in the connection chamber, increasing the chances of contamination.
Traditional connection processes also require the use of capital equipment, such as a laminar flow hood, which increases the cost, time and space needed to make connections.
"The disposable STC re-invents the steam-in-place process by eliminating connection steps, reducing validation concerns, and removing opportunities for contamination", says Carolyn Franceschi, Medical Business Unit Manager of Colder Products.
"The speed at which connections can now be made will streamline the drug development process, yielding substantial savings for biopharmaceutical companies".
Visitors to BioTechnica have the opportunity to learn more about CPC's new STC during an in-depth presentation at BioTechnica's Innovations Forum, at 1500h on Wednesday 8th October 2003.
