GORE™ Single-Use Valve

Ensures controlled aseptic dispensing of bioprocess fluids

The GORE™ Single-Use Valve for steam-in-place applications provides positive flow control in pharmaceutical and biotherapeutic fluid dispensing applications, where high purity is required. It is ideally suited for barb-fitting or silicone-molded connection to disposable fluid transport systems. When used as the primary connection interface between a vessel port and a closed, pre-sterilized disposable assembly, it enables the assembly to remain aseptic throughout the connection, SIP, and fluid transfer processes. The unique platinum-cured silicone valve body liner creates a continuous, seamless, single-material contact surface for high value fluids. The liner's one-piece molded construction extends from the device face as a sealing gasket for sanitary end fittings and has a 0.25" (6 mm) ID tube extending from the valve body to enable easy connection to disposable assemblies. With higher flow rates than alternative valves, delivery time is minimized.

Benefits of the GORE™ Single-Use Valve

• Minimizes the risk of cross-contamination via a single-use preassembled system
• Reduces the risk of particle entrapment through unique crevice-free design
• Simplifies connection to standard sanitary end connections by eliminating the need for seals, o-rings or gaskets
• Enables higher flow rates than alternative single-use valves
• Provides an aseptic seal when in the closed position
• Allows for confident control of flow and shut-off with easy on/off knob

Typical Applications

• Single-use or disposable bioprocesses
• Sample collection
