  • Patent number: 11952566
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus 10 for storing and/or processing at least one medium 11, in particular a bioprocessing device, comprising at least one disposable container 1, which is designed to accommodate at least some of the at least one medium 11, and at least one overpressure protection means 5, which is fluid-connected to the at least one disposable container 1. The at least one overpressure protection means is designed, when triggered, to conduct at least some of the at least one medium 11 into an apparatus region 3a? in front of the overpressure protection means 5 in relation to a flow direction F, in particular into the at least one disposable container 1 and/or into at least one further, second container 1a.

  • Publication number: 20230407229
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method can configure and/or setup and/or control a downstream process for processing a biomass, including receiving at least one measurement value of at least one feature of an upstream process by which the biomass to be processed in the downstream process has been obtained and/or of at least one feature of a downstream process stage or operation, determining at least one downstream process parameter based on the received at least one measurement value, arid configuring and/or setup and/or controlling at least one downstream process stage or process operation based on the determined at least one downstream process parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230256407
    Abstract: A device assembly for producing bioconjugates, in particular antibody-drug conjugates, including a conjugation unit for performing a bioconjugation reaction in a medium, a first filtration unit for separating precipitates and/or agglomerates, and a second filtration unit for performing an ultrafiltration and/or a diafiltration process. The first filtration unit is arranged in a flow path between the conjugation unit and the second filtration unit. The device assembly further includes a single control unit for controlling the transfer of medium from the conjugation unit through the first filtration unit to the second filtration unit and for controlling the ultrafiltration and/or diafiltration process.

  • Publication number: 20230201781
    Abstract: A safety device for a single-use mixing or storage system (10), especially for use in a biopharmaceutical process, includes a flexible bag (12) made from a film material and a support structure (14) receiving and supporting the bag (12) in several directions. The support structure (14) allows an expansion of the bag (12) in an expansion direction. The safety device further includes a detection unit (20) adapted to detect an expansion of the bag (12) in the expansion direction, and a control unit (28) connected to the detection unit (20) and adapted to initiate a safety measure in response to the expansion of the bag (12) in the expansion direction exceeds a given threshold.
