Colder Products Company announces the expansion of the MPC
quick disconnect product line to include hose barbs suitable for smaller
flexible tubing with 1/8” (3.2 mm) ID. MPC couplings are offered in
polycarbonate and polysulfone materials and can be used in a wide range of small
flow applications such as fermentation sampling, modular tubing manifolds and
lab scale additions.
MPC Series connectors offer added security over luer
fittings and reduced connection times compared to tube welders. Colder’s 1/8”
MPC connector is designed to mate with any corresponding MPC connector,
independent of hose barb size, which eases the implementation for manufacturers
that have already validated the existing MPC Series connectors.
“Our customers have been requesting a quick disconnect
alternative to small-bore luers to eliminate the risk of contamination that
occurs when luer fittings unintentionally open due to twisting of tubing or
system vibration,” said John Boehm, business unit manager, bioprocessing
markets. “MPC connectors have been an industry standard for more than 15 years
and the new 1/8” hose barb is one of many upcoming product line additions that
increase process flexibility and provide secure, leak-free performance.”
Colder’s bioprocessing connections are manufactured in an
ISO Class 7 certified cleanroom and meet USP Class VI and ADCF requirements.

Colder Products Company, a leader in single-use connection
technology, will feature the 1/8” MPC connector and other new products at
BioProcess International (Booth #323) at the Long Beach Convention Center,
California. Attendees have the opportunity to meet with company experts and
discuss how to connect with Colder.
