Along with sterile connections and disconnections, the Steam-Thru II SIP Connectors provide additional sterility assurance with “Steam On” and “Steam Off” capabilities without the need for a laminar hood. Best of all, the single-use design of the Steam-Thru Connectors saves time and money by eliminating unnecessary cleaning procedures and reducing validation burden associated with reusable components.​
