From industrial to biomedical applications, the accurate handling of fluids is essential, and leaks of any kind can have critical implications. While operators may not always be aware of the technologies working behind the scenes, a variety of different solutions are currently employed to manage fluid transfer and reduce the likelihood of spills. Industry requirements continue to change, with the trend moving to smaller, more compact solutions. In 2011, designers at Colder faced the need to create a new non-spill connector that was 75 percent smaller than existing technology. Working with parts as small as 1/16" brought about a unique set of challenges that required engineers to combine Colder's expertise in connector design, material innovation, and tooling to create the NS1, the smallest plastic non-spill connector available to date.
