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.
