Abstract: Aeration device for bioreactors with a first aeration element with gas outlet openings of a first size and with at least one second aeration element with gas outlet openings of a second size, the aeration elements being formed by a common housing with separate aeration channels.

Abstract: A mixing vessel includes a flexible container, elements for mixing its contents, aeration elements, a drain/lower bearing port having a rigid flange provided with a drain passage, attached in a tight manner to the lower portion of the container wall, supporting a lower bearing that is adjacent to the drain passage. The vessel includes an extended element for dispensing aeration gas and is spaced essentially radially from the drain/bearing port; at least one tubular element for dispensing aeration gas extends from the extended dispensing element, in the inside space, along the inside surface of the lower portion and the side portion of the wall of the container and extends on the outside of the container from the upper portion; at least one mixing element is spaced essentially from the lower portion of the container wall, from the lower bearing, and from at least one extended element for dispensing aeration gas.

Abstract: A flexible pouch has a mixing apparatus, the mixer shaft of which is adjustable in length for use as a bioreactor for culturing microorganisms and cells.

Abstract: A filter capsule has a filter housing which, on at least one end face, has an end cap with an air release valve. A protective wall is formed on the end cap at a distance from the air release valve and protrudes beyond the air release valve.

Abstract: A housing (1) for the filtration of liquid media, comprising at least one filter candle (2), which has a fluid-tight transition region (10) of a lower annular end cap (6, 6?) with central outlet (7) to a fluid-permeable outer casing (9) and has a tubular adapter (8, 8?) connected to the end cap (6, 6?), and further comprising a housing top part (3) and a housing bottom part (4) having a housing bottom (5), which latter exhibits at least one cylindrical opening (11) for the reception of the adapter (8, 8?) and separates a non-filtrate chamber (14) surrounding the outer casing (9) of the filter candle (2) from a filtrate chamber (16) connected to the central outlet (7), at least a first seal (18) being provided between the cylindrical opening (11) and the filter candle (2), which seal forms a barrier to the filtrate chamber (16), characterized in that the fluid-tight transition region (10) is received in an end cap receiving region (12) of the cylindrical opening (11) and at least terminates with the base surfa

Abstract: An adsorptive separation device is disclosed having at least one spiral wound adsorption membrane situated around the periphery of a core mandrel wherein the flow is radial from a feed plenum situated between the core mandrel and the membrane, through the membrane to a permeate plenum located between the membrane and a housing for both the core mandrel and the spiral wound membrane. An array of such separation devices is also disclosed showing connections in parallel, in series, in both parallel and in series and in tandem.
