Closed / Perfusion Cell Culture System

iP-TEC Home / Closed / Perfusion Cell Culture System / In development

Sterile tubing connection system PAT.P

For the purpose of aseptically connecting tubes in a closed-cell culture system.
iP-TEC’s proprietary thermal welding method achieves a strong bond.


iP-TEC® Sterile Tubing Connection Welder

This is a welding machine for connecting tubes fitted with iP-TEC sterile tube connectors at both ends in a sterile state.

First, attach the two connectors. Next, automatically detach the aluminum seal plates attached to them while heating them with the welder. This causes the connector ends to be heat-welded. As a result, the tubing is connected in a sterile state via the connectors, enabling the flow of liquid.

Accessories: AC adapter, dedicated welder stand


iP-TEC® Sterile Tubing Connectors

Tubings pre-fitted connector can be heat-sealed together under aseptic conditons using a decicated welder. The material of tubing is not restricted.

Compatible tubing inner diameter: φ1.6mm

Compatible tubing inner diameter: φ3.2mm

Mechanism of Sterile Connections
Insert the connectors into each other.
Set up the welder.
Grasp the aluminum plate attached to the connector.
Heat is transferred to the sealing aluminum plate attached to the connector.
The aluminum plate melts the connector and pulls it out.
The sterile connection is complete, and fluid flow is now possible.

iP-TEC® Closed Blood Separation System PAT.P

It is possible to efficiently extract raw materials for iPS Cells(※1) from only 1mL whole Blood. This system can separates, and sends the desired component layer to the next process while remaining in a closed state.

Closed Blood Separator Bellows Syringe

This is a syringe container for closed clood separators. It is sterilized with the rear opening sealed by an accordion-style cover, allowing the plunger to be moved up and down while maintaining aseptic condition. It can be set into 50mL centrifuge tubes for convenient centrifugation.

iP-TEC® Closed iPSC Establishment System 

PBMCs infected with Sendai virus vector in a closed cell culture container. Then, culture medium is automatically replacement within a fully closed space to establish iPS cells using micropumps.
