Frequently Asked Questions
What is a NEST Straight Tube Connector used for?

It joins two pieces of compatible flexible tubing with the same inner diameter, creating a continuous fluid path for bioprocessing and other liquid-transfer applications.

How does the connector attach to the tubing?

Insert each barbed end into compatible tubing. The barbed design helps retain the tubing and maintain a secure, sealed connection. Users should verify tubing compatibility and validate the completed assembly before use.

What material is the connector made from?

NEST Straight Tube Connectors are manufactured from polypropylene that meets USP Class VI requirements.

Which connection sizes are available?

Current configurations include: 1/8" (3.2 mm), Cat. No. 749211 3/16" (4.8 mm), Cat. No. 749221 1/4" (6.4 mm), Cat. No. 749231 5/16" (8.0 mm), Cat. No. 749241 3/8" (9.6 mm), Cat. No. 749251 1/2" (12.7 mm), Cat. No. 749261

How do I select the correct connector size?

Choose a connector that matches the tubing’s inner diameter. Tubing material, wall thickness, flexibility, operating pressure, and assembly method should also be evaluated for the intended application.

Are the connectors supplied sterile?

No. NEST Straight Tube Connectors are supplied non-sterile.

Can the connectors be sterilized?

Yes. They support either irradiation at 50–55 kGy or steam sterilization at 121°C for 30 minutes. The chosen process should be validated for the completed assembly and intended application.

Can irradiation and steam sterilization both be used?

No. These sterilization methods are mutually exclusive and must not both be applied to the same connector.

Do the connectors meet biocompatibility requirements?

Yes. The product documentation states that they comply with USP <87>, USP <88>, and ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements.

Why do the connectors have smooth inner surfaces?

The smooth internal surface helps reduce flow restriction, residual liquid, and product hold-up during fluid transfer.

What applications are these connectors suitable for?

They can be incorporated into media and buffer transfer lines, sampling systems, filtration assemblies, manifolds, bioreactor systems, storage systems, and other single-use fluid paths.

Are the connectors animal-origin-free?

Yes. The Tube Connector Collection is identified as animal-origin-free with respect to BSE/TSE.

What quality testing is performed?

Each manufacturing lot is sampled and tested according to established procedures. Testing includes appearance and dimensions, sealing performance, temperature tolerance, and insoluble particulates.

What is the shelf life?

The connectors have a five-year shelf life from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature with the packaging intact.

How are the connectors packaged?

NEST Straight Tube Connectors are double-layer packaged with 100 connectors per bag.
