  • ENCLOSED FILTRATION AND BIOREACTOR SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES
    Publication number: 20220098539
    Abstract: A product concentration device that utilizes a reservoir connected to a hollow-fiber filter element where the reservoir can serve as a container for filtrate emanating from another filtering device, such that product in the reservoir can be stored, concentrated and/or further processed as desired. Enclosed reactor systems, each of at least three chambers, fluid flow between the chambers controlled by selectively permeable barriers, flow controlled by an alternating flow diaphragm pump.

  • Device for aseptically connecting large bore tubing
    Patent number: 11141578
    Abstract: A connector for facilitating the connection of one piece of tubing to another so that fluid can flow from one piece to the other in a sterile manner. Characteristics of the connector include, but are not limited to, a flange at one of the connector, the flange comprising a recess for storage of at least part of a protective shield which Is removable after the flange is connected to the flange of a second connector.

  • Screen filter module for alternating flow filtration
    Patent number: 9993751
    Abstract: Improved screen filter modules, related compartmentalized filtration modules, and related filtration processes, suitable for filtering fluid to eliminate suspended particulate matter, such as living cells or microcarriers anchoring living cells, or to separate particulate matter based on size. The improvement is the presence of a barrier that channels redirected filtrate to the portion of the filter most susceptible to clogging by the particulate matter and induces flow patterns that act against clogging.
