Abstract: The present invention is an alignment device for a bag containing one or more ports. The alignment device is attached to either the one or more ports or to the bag adjacent the one or more ports. The plate has an indicator or a unique outer edge shape that is designed to fit into a corresponding unique opening in a holder to ensure proper alignment of the bag and its port(s) in the holder. The plate is has a series of holes equal to and in alignment with the one or more ports of the bag and the port(s) extend through the holes of the plate.

Abstract: Tangential flow filtration device is provided wherein liners are provided between the filtration element and the top and bottom holders or manifolds. The liners incorporate the flow channels and inlet and outlet ports that were previously present in the manifolds. The liners are made of an inexpensive material and therefore are disposable after a single use, making it more cost effective to dispose of them than to clean the conventional manifolds. In addition, the liners can be pre-sterilized.

The plate has either an indicator or a unique outer edge shape that is designed to fit into a corresponding unique opening in a bag holder to ensure proper alignment of the bag and its port(s) in the holder. In one embodiment the plate has a series of holes equal to and in alignment with the one or more ports of the bag and the port(s) are extended through the holes of the plate and the plate is attached to the bag by retainers on the port(s) below the plate. Alternatively, the plate may be fitted over the port(s) and attached to the bag.

Abstract: The present invention is an alignment device for a bag containing one or more ports wherein the alignment device is attached to either the one or more ports such as by wire ties, clamps or cable ties or to the bag adjacent the one or more ports via adhesives or welding or molding such as overmolding. The plate has either an indicator or a unique outer edge shape that is designed to fit into a corresponding unique opening in a bag holder such as a carboy or tote to ensure proper alignment of the bag and its port(s) in the holder. In one embodiment the plate formed of plastic, metal, wood or composite material has a series of holes equal to and in alignment with the one or more ports of the bag and the port(s) are extended through the holes of the plate and the plate is attached to the bag by retainers on the port(s) below the plate. Such retainers can be plastic cable ties, wire ties, tube clamps and the like.

Abstract: A tangential flow filtration assembly having a filter holder, a TFF cassette, and a hollow elongate port adapter. The filter holder includes a pair of compression manifolds, with at least one of the compression manifolds having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a port leading to a fluid pathway from the outer surface to the inner surface. The TFF cassette, functionally engaged between the compression manifolds, utilizes a single filter plate comprising an ultrafiltration membrane disposed within a substantially planar framework. The hollow elongate port adapter has an engagement side and an insertion side with a flange disposed therebetween. An elastomeric sealing element is disposed in the adapter's insertion side.

Abstract: A tangential flow filtration apparatus is provided which includes a liquid feed reservoir and a tangential flow filtration module connected together by manifolds. The manifolds eliminate the need for tubular conduits, thereby effecting a reduction in recirculation volume for the apparatus.
