Patent number: 12553556Abstract: Fluid coupling devices can be configured for use in fluid systems for purposes of providing a single-use, aseptic disconnection functionality that can substantially limit fluid spillage when being disconnected. In some embodiments, the coupling portions cannot be functionally reconnected to each other after being disconnected from each other. The coupling portions can be identical to each other in some embodiments. A retainer component of the fluid coupling devices can be removably engaged with the coupling portions while the coupling portions are abutted against each other in an operative arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2024Date of Patent: February 17, 2026Assignee: Colder Products CompanyInventors: Timothy C. Benson, Andrew M. Quick, Randall S. Williams

Patent number: 12535166Abstract: Fluid coupling devices described herein can used in a bioprocessing facility, for example. In some cases, the fluid coupling devices can be used to couple bioprocessing equipment to a media source in a sterilized environment. The fluid coupling devices can include a two-position valve that is manually actuatable and reconfigurable between a first configuration and a second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2024Date of Patent: January 27, 2026Assignee: Colder Products CompanyInventors: Matthew G. Casura, Nicholas B. Czechowski, Neal W. Feldhahn, Gary J. Harris, Samuel M. Jang, Andrew M. Quick, Loi T. Truong, Krista A. Vangsgard

Publication number: 20260009485Abstract: Fluid handling couplings can include a main body with a front face and can define a longitudinal axis. Such fluid handling couplings can include a post extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a post receptacle. Fluid handling couplings can include a seal coupled to the main body around the longitudinal axis. A portion of the seal can protrude from the front face of the main body. Fluid handling couplings can include a removable membrane releasably attached to the front face of the main body and covering the portion of the seal protruding from the front face of the main body. Fluid handling couplings can be genderless, can include manually openable valves, and can be configured for single-use aseptic fluid handling usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2025Publication date: January 8, 2026Inventors: Matthew G. Casura, Gary J. Harris, Andrew M. Quick, Loi T. Truong, Samuel J. Walker, Randall S. Williams
