  • Publication number: 20230053902
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for manufacturing biologically-produced pharmaceutical products. Some of the systems described herein comprise an upstream component comprising a bioreactor and at least one filter (e.g., a filter probe) integrated with a downstream component comprising a purification module comprising at least a first partitioning unit and a second partitioning unit. In some embodiments; these integrated biomanufacturing systems may be operated under continuous or conditions and may be capable of efficiently producing pure, high-quality pharmaceutical products.

  • Publication number: 20200251186
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and evaluating candidate sequences of partitioning steps to partition at least one biologically produced product from at least one impurity. In some embodiments, a plurality of candidate sequences of partitioning steps may be generated, wherein at least one candidate sequence of the plurality of candidate sequences comprises a plurality of partitioning steps in a specified order. The plurality of candidate sequences may be evaluated. For instance, a data set associated with the at least one partitioning step may be accessed, the data set comprising: first data indicative of a behavior of the at least one biologically produced product with respect to the at least one partitioning step; and second data indicative of a behavior of the at least one impurity with respect to the at least one partitioning step. The at least one candidate sequence may be scored based at least in part on the data set.

  • Patent number: 10006614
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a primary housing having a light source and a secondary housing having a light source. The primary housing and the secondary housing can be magnetically and releasably coupled to each other by at least one magnet on either or both housings. The primary housing can include an upper shell and a lower shell pivotally coupled to each other to form a clamshell configuration. A hands-free emergency lighting method can include decoupling the primary housing from the secondary housing and magnetically coupling the secondary housing to a metal surface, such as a vehicle, to indicate an emergency while the primary housing can be opened and used to illuminate an area.
