  • Patent number: 9840689
    Abstract: A container (10) for receiving biopharmaceutical content (C) in liquid, fluid or gaseous form, includes a peripheral wall (12) that is closed on itself, at least one transfer pipe (22), at least one guiding element (30; 130), and wherein the at least one guiding element (30; 130) includes a gripping member (32; 132) and an attachment member (44; 144). The gripping member (32; 132) and the attachment member (44; 144) are structurally separate and independent of one another and the guiding element (30; 130) has reciprocal assembly elements (60; 160) allowing the structural or functional assembly of the gripping member (32; 132) with the attachment member (44; 144) to ensure the positioning of the gripping member (32; 132) close to the attachment member (44; 144) and the connecting area (46; 146) of the corresponding peripheral wall (12).

  • Patent number: 9695391
    Abstract: One aspect relates to a container for inserting into a holding device, comprising: a wall that is flexible at least in some areas, which wall is squashed, at least in some areas, in a transport condition in a direction opposite to a stretching direction; a handling unit connected to the wall, which is designed to come into engagement with a complementary handling unit of a transport device; a securing unit which in a transport condition hinders stretching of the wall of the bioreactor container along the stretching direction, wherein the container can, when the securing unit is released, be extended at least in some areas along the stretching direction, as well as a transport device, a use and a method.

  • Patent number: 9329163
    Abstract: The sensing device (12) includes support and fixing elements (13), elements (14) for capturing the parameter, fixed rigidly to the support and fixing elements (13), including a sensing face (14a), situated in a chamber (17), a solid internal chamber end wall (30) disposed transversely, an open part (18) made in the chamber peripheral wall (27), the chamber (17) being a holding chamber (17) able to ensure confinement of the content (C) therein, and being isolated from the inside space (3a) of the container and safeguarded from the agitation prevailing therein, by the internal end wall (30) of the chamber so as to minimize the impact of this agitation on the measurement of the parameter of the content (C) by the sensing face (14a).
