Product Description
Sterile pre-assembled MPC quick connector assemblies for Cell Factory systems — each assembly features a 3/8" MPC connector on one end and a Cell Factory system connector on the other, with C-Flex or silicone tubing. Designed for rapid, tool-free connection and disconnection between Cell Factory units and media bottles, liquid handling systems, and bioprocessing equipment in closed production workflows.
The quick connector design allows coupling halves to be connected and disconnected without tools — enabling fast media exchanges, perfusion line changes, and system reconfigurations during production. Available in import and standard connection types to match your Cell Factory system setup. Individually packaged sterile, ready to use from the bag. Certified DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free for vaccine production, therapeutic protein expression, cell therapy, and gene therapy applications.
Quick Connector — How It Works
1. Cell Factory connector end attaches to the Cell Factory system port
2. 3/8" MPC end connects to the media bottle or receiving system MPC body port
3. Push to connect — no tools required. Coupling halves rotate when connected to reduce tube kinks
4. Pull to disconnect — quick release for fast media exchanges and line changes
Tubing Material Options
Tubing Material
C-Flex Tubing
Best for: General media transfer and peristaltic pump applications
Properties: Excellent kink resistance, low extractables, broad chemical compatibility
Tubing Material
Silicone Tubing
Best for: High-flex and high-temperature applications
Properties: Maximum biocompatibility, high flexibility, excellent gas permeability
Key Features & Benefits
- 3/8" MPC quick connector — industry standard CPC MPC fitting for secure, tool-free push-to-connect and pull-to-disconnect operation in closed bioprocessing systems
- Cell Factory system connector on opposite end — one end is pre-fitted with a Cell Factory compatible connector for direct attachment to the Cell Factory unit port
- Rotating coupling design — connector halves can rotate when connected, reducing tube kinks during extended production runs
- C-Flex tubing option — flexible thermoplastic with excellent kink resistance and low extractables for general media transfer and peristaltic pump applications
- Silicone tubing option — platinum-cured silicone for maximum biocompatibility and flexibility in high-temperature and high-flex applications
- Two connection types — import and standard to match your Cell Factory system configuration
- Pre-assembled and sterile — individually packaged sterile, ready to use directly from the bag
- Gamma irradiation sterilized — dose verification per ISO 11137, SAL 10⁻⁶
- DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free — certified for vaccine production, therapeutic protein expression, cell therapy, and gene therapy manufacturing
- Single-use design — eliminates cleaning validation and cross-contamination risk between production runs

Storage & Handling
- Store in original sterile packaging in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and UV exposure
- Maintain storage temperature between 15°C and 30°C prior to use
- Do not use assemblies from damaged or previously opened packaging
- Open sterile packaging aseptically inside a biosafety cabinet at point of use

- Inspect tubing for kinks, damage, or compression before use
- Ensure MPC quick connector is fully seated and locked before initiating fluid transfer
- Single-use only — do not reuse assemblies between runs
- Dispose of used assemblies per your institution's biosafety and single-use material disposal guidelines
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the MPC Insert Tube Assembly?
The MPC Insert Tube Assembly has an MPC insert (male fitting) on one end for connecting to an MPC body (female) port on a media bottle or receiving system. The MPC Quick Connector Assembly features a full quick connector on one end — designed for rapid push-to-connect and pull-to-disconnect operation — making it the preferred choice for applications requiring frequent line changes, media exchanges, or system reconfigurations during production runs.
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 — preferred for general media transfer and peristaltic pump applications. Silicone (platinum-cured) offers maximum biocompatibility, high flexibility, and gas permeability — preferred for high-temperature and high-flex applications. Both are certified DNase/RNase-free and endotoxin-free.
Can the connector halves rotate when connected?
Yes — the CPC MPC quick connector design allows coupling halves to rotate freely when connected, which helps reduce tube kinking during operation. This is particularly useful in Cell Factory setups where tubing may need to accommodate different orientations between the Cell Factory unit and the media bottle or receiving system.
Are these assemblies compatible with all Cell Factory system sizes?
Yes — these MPC quick connector assemblies are compatible with Cell Factory 1, 2, 4, 10, and 40-layer systems. Select the appropriate tubing material and connection type 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.
