Patent number: 11815311Abstract: Provided is a gas fill fixture for use in lyophilization, a related system and method. The gas fill fixture includes a chassis, fill indicator and a lid, such that the chassis and lid together form a cavity for receiving a flexible lyophilization container. The system includes a lyophilization container, a lyophilizer and a gas fill fixture incorporating a chassis, a fill indicator and a lid. The method includes process steps for using the system to lyophilize a fluid.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Terumo BCT Biotechnologies, LLCInventors: Nathaniel T. Johnson, Rylan A. Summit, Dennis A. Bridges, Dennis J. Hlavinka, Kestas P. Parakininkas, Kirk L. Weimer, Michael Lawrence Glover, Alexander Du Nguyen, Margaret V. Kwiat

Patent number: 11740019Abstract: Provided is a loading tray assembly for housing a lyophilization container and a related system and method. The loading tray assembly includes a chassis including a contact void configured to facilitate direct contact between the attached lyophilization container and a lyophilizer shelf. The method includes securing a multi-part lyophilization container including a peelable seal on a lyophilization loading tray assembly, inputting a liquid into a non-breathable section of the lyophilization container, loading the tray assembly into a lyophilizer, freezing the liquid, applying heat energy and a vacuum, the vacuum causing an opening of the peelable seal and occluding the lyophilization container to isolate the frozen liquid.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Terumo BCT Biotechnologies, LLCInventors: Nathaniel T. Johnson, Dennis A. Bridges, Alexander Du Nguyen, Margaret V. Kwiat, Kestas P. Parakininkas, Rylan A. Summit
