<p>A measurement probe connector assembly (10) or conduit connector assembly (10) comprises an insert (40) adapted to pass through an opening into the fluid chamber (20), a support assembly (30) to support the insert (40), a seal (50) disposed around the insert (40) to seal the opening into the fluid chamber (20), and a compression mechanism to compress the seal (50). When the seal (50) is axially compressed, the seal (50) radially expands and contacts the inside edge of the opening into the fluid chamber (20) to form a fluid tight seal. The connector assembly (10) is designed so that positive pressure inside the fluid chamber (20) enhances the seal that is formed. Additionally, the connector assembly (10) is designed to minimize biological contamination risks and the transfer of thermal and/or electrical energy from the fluid chamber wall (22) to the insert (40).</p> |
