GE Cytiva Connector Assembly with Masterflex Tubing - 3 Assemblies

Cytiva 28936691 ReadyMate Connector Assembly – 1/4 in. Barb, Masterflex L/S 15 Tubing

The Cytiva 28936691 ReadyMate Disposable Aseptic Connector (DAC) assembly is an essential component for secure, sterile fluid management in modern single-use bioprocessing. Engineered with a genderless design, this connector drastically simplifies inventory and operation by allowing any two ReadyMate halves to connect without the need for distinct male/female pairing. This specific assembly is factory-fitted with a 1/4-inch barb and pre-plumbed with Masterflex 96410-15 platinum-cured silicone tubing, making it instantly ready for precision fluid routing via standard L/S peristaltic pumps. The ReadyMate DAC system enables operators to make safe, leak-proof, and fully aseptic connections outside of a biological safety cabinet, vastly increasing manufacturing flexibility. Supplied sterile and designed strictly for single-use applications, this assembly eliminates the costly and time-consuming cleaning, sterilization, and validation steps associated with traditional stainless steel or reusable plumbing.

Technical Performance and Design

• Genderless Aseptic Connection: The innovative design removes the complexity of matching male and female fittings, reducing inventory requirements and preventing operator error during critical fluid transfers.

• Pre-Plumbed Masterflex Tubing: Integrated with 96410-15 (L/S 15) platinum-cured silicone tubing, which provides exceptional biocompatibility, ultra-low extractables, and superior durability in peristaltic pump heads.

• Non-Classified Environment Ready: The sealed, dry-connection mechanism allows for the aseptic joining of fluid pathways in standard laboratory spaces without compromising the sterility of the internal fluid.

• High-Security Fluid Path: Once the two connector halves are clamped together and the protective membranes are removed, the system creates a high-pressure, leak-proof seal ideal for valuable media or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Product Specifications

Key Benefits & Applications

• Bioreactor Feeding & Harvesting: Provides a safe and rapid method for transferring cell culture media, buffers, or harvested product between single-use bags and bioreactor vessels.

• Pump-Ready Integration: The L/S 15 tubing is the industry standard for low-to-medium flow rate peristaltic pumping, allowing for immediate "plug-and-play" integration into existing skids.

• Elimination of Cross-Contamination: As a completely disposable fluid path, it mitigates the risks associated with bio-burden buildup and cross-contamination between different drug batches.

• Scalable Operations: The standardized ReadyMate connection allows process engineers to effortlessly link tubing assemblies to larger fluid distribution manifolds across a facility.
