  • Patent number: 11813553
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, chambers, and methods for processing particles by washing, concentrating, and/or treating the particles. Some embodiments provide for the processing of cells that may be in a liquid medium (e.g., a liquid in which the cells were grown) and are processed by being washed and concentrated for later use in research or other therapies.

  • Publication number: 20230285042
    Abstract: A flexure-based tubing state sensor includes a flexure block and a pressure sensor. The flexure block includes a body with a sensor aperture, a lever arm configured to pivot about a pivot axis between an unpivoted state and a pivoted state and including a tubing contact section and a sensor contact section arranged a first distance from the sensor aperture in the unpivoted state and a second distance from the sensor aperture in the pivoted state, a first flexure, a second flexure, and a fixed wall section disposed offset a tubing gap distance from the tubing contact section of the lever arm. The pressure sensor includes a pressure region adjacent the sensor aperture and in contact with the sensor contact section. The pressure sensor may detect pressure at the tubing contact section via rotation of the lever arm and the sensor contact section acting on the pressure region.

  • Publication number: 20230285656
    Abstract: A modular serviceability sled includes a frame, subassembly, interconnection, gasket, and shielding component. The interconnection is operatively connected to the subassembly and includes an electrical, pneumatic, and/or hydraulic connection. The gasket can engage the frame and a base assembly of an apparatus. The shielding component can contact the frame and the base assembly and includes an electromagnetic interference and/or radio frequency shielding component. The sled is movable between an engaged state and a disengaged state. In the engaged state, the sled is at least partially within a receiving space of the apparatus, the gasket engages the frame and the base assembly, the shielding component contacts the frame and the base assembly, and the interconnection is operatively connected to a machine interconnection of the apparatus. In the disengaged state, the interconnection is disconnected from the machine interconnection and the sled is configured to freely move with respect to the base assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230277741
    Abstract: A pump for fluids includes a rotor sub-assembly, a tubing pressure block, an inlet guide, an outlet guide, and a tubing guard. The rotor sub-assembly includes at least one roller. The tubing pressure block includes a raceway and at least one projection. The tubing pressure block is movable between a first position and a second position. The inlet guide includes an inlet tubing channel and is disposed proximate to a first side of the tubing pressure block. The outlet guide includes an outlet tubing channel and is disposed proximate to a second side of the tubing pressure block. The tubing guard is configured to engage with the inlet guide and the outlet guide when the tubing guard is in a closed position and is configured to expose the rotor sub-assembly, the tubing pressure block, the inlet guide, and the outlet guide when in an open position.
