SeriesLock Xgen™ Genderless Quick Coupling

Description

SeriesLockXgen™ is an intuitive, easy to use genderless sterile quick-disconnect solution. Xgen genderless quick connect technology is revolutionizing the bioprocessing industry by offering a more effi cient, versatile, and reliable solution for connecting equipment and processes. 

Xgen is revolutionary with a small footprint of 3.6” per half and 5.1” connected. Recessed mating features protect contact surfaces and allows for a sterile, leak free connection, disconnection, and reconnection up to 10 times even in gray spaces.

This genderless connector is manufactured with ISO 10993 compliant materials. All fl uid contacting components are constructed from polysulphone (PSU) and incorporate Class VI silicone seals. 

The audible click upon connection, the locking rings and the safety slide release are features to help prevent accidental disconnects. Standard sizes are available to accommodate tubing sizes ranging from 1/4” ID to 1” ID Tubing.
