  • Patent number: 11466241
    Abstract: The invention discloses a first unit (1) for treatment of a bioprocess liquid comprising a first lateral face (2), a second lateral face (3) and a front face (4) which meets the two said lateral faces. The front face comprises: a plurality of valves (7) adapted to receive and act upon one or more legs (8) of a disposable flow path (6); optionally one or more pumps (10) adapted to receive and act upon one or more legs of the disposable flow path; optionally one or more sensors (11) adapted to receive and to measure one or more parameters in one or more legs of the disposable flow path; wherein the plurality of valves and optional pumps and sensors are vertically offset from each other to give one or more legs of a disposable flow path received by said valves and optional pumps and sensors a slope of at least 3.0 degrees from the horizontal plane (h).

  • Patent number: 11415241
    Abstract: A valve (100) for a bioprocess liquid apparatus (199) comprises tubular sections (101, 102, 103) inside which valve seat means (155) are arranged. A plunger arrangement (150) is configured to selectively interact with the valve seat means to close and open the tubular sections in response to a magnetic field provided by solenoid arrangements (104, 105), the solenoid arrangements being arranged at the bioprocess liquid apparatus. A flow path device comprising such a valve and a bioprocess liquid apparatus and a method of handling a bioprocess liquid are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180221823
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to an automated CFF/TFF system that provides the operations of system treatment with a system treatment solution(such as buffer) and filtration of a solution (e.g., a biofluid) can be accomplished in succession without having to re-configure the system (such as re-routing the fluid conduits) that could compromise the integrity of the system. As a result, there will be reduced contamination risk, reduced volume of buffer required and will save time for the filtration process.
