ACT² - Sample Transfer Tool

The Analytical Containment Transfer Tool (ACT²) is a disposable device that doubly-contains and transfers samples in a safe manner from unique experiment specific spaceflight hardware to on-orbit analytical tools for real-time analysis.

At the core of ACT² is a commercially available syringe (1 ml, 3 ml or 5 ml) that is seated within a doubly-contained enclosure known as the Syringe Tube. This innovative design requires the syringe to mate and demate Dual End Shut Off (DESO) fittings, contained within the ACT², Sealing Tube before allowing the transfer of fluid.
