Abstract: An aseptic connector includes first and second matable housings each comprising a plurality of connectors for fluid conduits. The fluid conduits enter the housings and may be force-fitted onto barbs or flanges on one side of the connectors, or may instead be molded directly onto the connectors. When the housings are joined, the opposite sides of the connectors mate to form fluid seals, thereby establishing fluid pathways between now-connected sets of tubes.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for alternately collecting a fluid in a plurality of containers without breaching its sterility. The system generally includes one or more collection modules, each having a valve and one or more container sets fluidically connected to the valve. Each container set includes first and second containers. The system also includes a control unit to control operation of the valve of each collection module to facilitate alternate collection of the fluid by the first and second containers of a container set. This may ensure that the fluid collected in one container is a true representative sample of the fluid collected in the container without compromising its sterile integrity.

Abstract: Disclosed are tangential flow filtration (TFF) systems and methods. A system generally includes a TFF module, a control unit and one or more process-control components. In some cases, a system also includes a feed module. The control unit is electrically connected to the one or more process-control components and is configured to control the process of separation using the one or more process-control components. The systems and methods can maintain constant permeate flow rates to improve the predictability or consistence of the process, automatically switch membranes in case of membrane fouling, automatically promote membrane recovery, and/or permit operation of TFF systems in parallel with other processes in a manufacturing production.
