Getinge has introduced the DPTE®-FLEX, an innovative externally openable alpha port designed to improve sterility assurance and efficiency in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The new manual port allows for secure, gloveless transfers, reducing contamination risks and streamlining operations.

Expanding upon Getinge’s DPTE® technology, the DPTE®-FLEX integrates seamlessly with existing DPTE®-XS and DPTE®-EXO Alpha ports while aligning with Annex 1 regulatory guidelines.

Key features of the DPTE®-FLEX:

• Gloveless aseptic transfer minimizes human intervention and contamination risks
• Externally accessible locking and opening system for ease of use
• Compatible with sleeveless DPTE-BetaBag® for enhanced sterility assurance
• Fully mechanical, interlocked system ensures secure connections
• 160° opening angle for improved accessibility
• Compact footprint with the same installation diameter as DPTE®-XS Alpha ports

First introduced 60 years ago, Getinge’s DPTE® system revolutionized sterile transfer technology. The DPTE®-FLEX now expands this legacy, offering manufacturers a flexible, compliant, and efficient solution for modern aseptic production environments.
