Zusammenfassung:An aseptic coupling system includes a coupler and a connector including a body defining a plug portion and a connector fluid path and an aseptic cap releasably secured to an end of the plug portion. The coupler includes a housing defining a socket portion for receiving the plug portion and a cavity adjacent to the socket portion, a seal translating element assembled with the housing, and an actuator element connected to the seal translating element and operable to move the seal translating element from a cap receiving closed position to a cap displacing open position. When the seal translating element is moved from the closed position to the open position, the cap is disengaged from the connector plug portion and a coupler fluid path, defined by the seal translating element, is moved from an offset portion of the coupler housing cavity into alignment with the connector fluid path.
