Product Description
Sterile pre-assembled MPC insert tube assemblies for connecting Cell Factory systems to media bottles and liquid handling equipment in closed bioprocessing workflows — supporting production of human and animal vaccines, therapeutic proteins, cell therapy, and gene therapy products. Each assembly consists of a CPC MPC insert fitting on one end and 75 cm of flexible bioprocess tubing on the other — supplied sterile in individual packaging, ready to use from the bag.
Available in 3/8" and 1/4" MPC insert sizes with a choice of C-Flex or silicone tubing, and in two connection types to match your Cell Factory system configuration. To connect the Cell Factory system to a media bottle, use the tubing assembly with the Cell Factory system connector on one end and the MPC insert on the other — place the Cell Factory connector on the second port. Certified DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free.
Connection Workflow — Cell Factory to Media Bottle
1. Select tubing assembly with Cell Factory system connector on one end and MPC insert on the other end
2. Place the Cell Factory connector on the second port of the Cell Factory unit
3. Connect the MPC insert end to the media bottle port
4. Verify all connections are fully seated before initiating flow
Tubing Material Options
Tubing Material
C-Flex Tubing
Flexible thermoplastic bioprocess tubing. Excellent kink resistance, broad chemical compatibility, and low extractables. Preferred for peristaltic pump applications and general media transfer.
Tubing Material
Silicone Tubing
Platinum-cured silicone for high-flex and high-temperature applications. Excellent biocompatibility and steam sterilization compatibility. Preferred for applications requiring maximum flexibility and gas permeability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Pre-assembled and sterile — each assembly is supplied sterile in individual packaging, ready to use directly from the bag — no assembly or sterilization required before use
- CPC MPC insert fitting — industry standard male MPC quick-connect fitting for secure, tool-free connection and disconnection in closed bioprocessing systems
- Two MPC insert sizes — 3/8" and 1/4" to match your Cell Factory system port and media bottle port configuration
- C-Flex tubing option — flexible thermoplastic tubing with excellent kink resistance, low extractables, and broad chemical compatibility for general media transfer and peristaltic pump applications
- Silicone tubing option — platinum-cured silicone for high-flex and high-temperature applications with maximum biocompatibility and gas permeability
- 75 cm tubing length — consistent across all variants for predictable reach between Cell Factory unit and media bottle in standard bioprocessing setups
- Two connection types — select the connection type that matches your Cell Factory system configuration
- Gamma irradiation sterilized — dose verification per ISO 11137, SAL 10⁻⁶
- DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free — certified for sensitive biological manufacturing workflows
- Single-use design — eliminates cleaning validation and reduces cross-contamination risk between runs

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect the Cell Factory system to a media bottle using this assembly?
Use the tubing assembly with the Cell Factory system connector on one end and the MPC insert on the other. Place the Cell Factory connector on the second port of the Cell Factory unit, then connect the MPC insert end to the media bottle port. Ensure all connections are fully seated before initiating flow.
What is the difference between C-Flex and silicone tubing?
C-Flex is a flexible thermoplastic tubing with excellent kink resistance, low extractables, and broad chemical compatibility — it is the preferred choice for peristaltic pump applications and general media transfer. Silicone (platinum-cured) offers maximum biocompatibility, high flexibility, and gas permeability — preferred for high-temperature applications and workflows requiring exceptional flexibility. Both are certified DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free.
Which MPC insert size should I select?
Select the insert size that matches the port on your media bottle or liquid handling system — 3/8" for standard large-bore bioprocessing ports and 1/4" for smaller bore connections. Verify the port size on your Cell Factory accessories and media bottle before ordering. The MPC insert is the male fitting that connects to the female MPC body on the receiving port.
Are these assemblies compatible with all Cell Factory system sizes?
Yes — these MPC insert tube assemblies are compatible with Cell Factory 1, 2, 4, 10, and 40-layer systems. Select the appropriate connection type and insert size to match your specific Cell Factory system configuration.
Are Certificates of Analysis available?
Yes — Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request. Each lot is certified DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free, gamma irradiated per ISO 11137, SAL 10⁻⁶. Contact us with your lot number for documentation.
