The application of single-use, sterile and disposable technology is encouraged by regulators, as the draft to EU GMP Annex 1 indicates. Such technology can increase the level of sterility assurance and reduce the environmental impact of processing at the pharmaceutical facility.


Aseptic connectors (and disconnectors) are an important example of such technology, permitting the continuation of the fluid path by using devices designed to ensure no microbial contamination ingress.


With aseptic processing, any connection undertaken post-sterilizing grade filter is of particular importance.
