  • Particle settler for use in cell culture
    Patent number: 5817505
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for separating particles from a bulk liquid, such as viable hybridoma cells from antibody-containing liquid medium. The device comprises a plurality of settlement plates, or other surfaces, being inclined to the vertical, and a pump or other means for causing liquid containing the particles to flow upwardly over the surfaces at such a rate as to allow particles to be separated from the bulk liquid to form sediment layers on the surfaces and slide down them for collection at an appropriate point.
