A single-use sensor interface for coupling a single-use container to a re-usable sensing instrument is provided. The single-use sensor interface includes a polymeric flange couplable to a wall of the single-use container. The polymeric flange has a sidewall and an interface portion configured to receive a deflectable polymeric diaphragm. A deflectable polymeric diaphragm is coupled to the interface portion of the polymeric flange. An instrument coupling portion is sealingly coupled to the polymeric flange. The instrument coupling portion is configured to couple to the re-usable sensing instrument. Another single-use sensor interface for coupling a single-use container to a re-usable sensing instrument includes a polymeric hose adapter and at least one instrument attachment portion. The polymeric hose adapter portion has at least one hose barb configured to retain a hose slid thereover. The hose adapter portion has at least one interface portion that is configured to receive a deflectable polymeric diaphragm. A deflectable polymeric diaphragm is coupled to the interface portion. At least one instrument attachment portion is coupled to the hose adapter portion. The at least one instrument attachment portion has a cylindrical sidewall.

Sensor interface for single-use containers

A polymeric remote seal system is provided for coupling a single-use container to a pressure measurement instrument. The polymeric remote seal system includes a process-side coupling, an instrument-side coupling and a fluidic coupling therebetween. The process-side coupling is configured to couple to the single-use container and is formed of a radiation sterilizable polymer. The process-side coupling has a process-side deflectable diaphragm that is configured to deflect in response to pressure within the single-use container. The instrument-side coupling is configured to couple to the pressure measurement instrument and is formed of a radiation sterilizable polymer. The instrument-side coupling is configured to fluidically convey fluid pressure to an isolation diaphragm of the pressure measurement instrument. Tubing fluidically couples the process-side coupling to the instrument-side coupling.
