ibidi 10823 Female Luer Lock Coupler Sterile 50 Couplers

ibidi 10823 Female Luer Lock Coupler – Polypropylene, Sterile

The ibidi 10823 is a precision-engineered fluidic connector designed for the secure joining of two male Luer leads in microfluidic and cell culture applications. Manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene, this Female-to-Female Luer Lock coupler provides a robust, leak-proof bridge essential for perfusion assays, live-cell imaging, and organ-on-a-chip workflows. These couplers are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with ibidi µ-Slides and the ibidi Pump System, ensuring a constant and sterile fluidic path. Each unit is supplied in an individual sterile blister pack, eliminating the need for autoclaving and reducing the risk of environmental contamination in sensitive biological experiments.

Technical Performance and Design

• Universal Luer Compatibility: Features standard female Luer lock threads on both ends, allowing for the rapid and secure connection of any standard male Luer fitting or syringe tip.

• Medical-Grade Polypropylene: Offers high chemical resistance and biocompatibility, ensuring that the connector does not leach substances that could interfere with delicate cell signaling or drug metabolism studies.

• Low Dead Volume Design: Optimized internal geometry minimizes fluid holdup and turbulence, which is critical for maintaining precise shear stress levels in flow-based assays.

• Ready-to-Use Sterility: Sterilized via ethylene oxide (EtO) and individually packaged, making them ideal for immediate deployment in cleanroom or laminar flow hood environments.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Flow Cytometry & Perfusion: Ideal for extending tubing lines or connecting reservoirs to microfluidic chips while maintaining a closed, sterile system.

• Live-Cell Imaging: Provides a reliable connection that withstands the pressures of long-term perfusion experiments without leaking or introducing air bubbles.

• Modular Fluidic Manifolds: Allows researchers to customize their experimental setups by easily swapping different tubing diameters or reagent sources via male Luer adapters.

• Biocompatibility Assurance: Certified to be non-cytotoxic, ensuring that the material does not negatively impact cell viability or morphology during prolonged contact.
