  • Patent number: 11958018
    Abstract: The disclosure provides tangential flow depth filtration (TFDF) systems which exhibit improved filter fluxes and process capacities and reduced fouling characteristics. The TFDF systems of the disclosure optionally utilize tubular depth filters (TDF). Methods are provided which include the passage of a non-laminar flow through at least a portion of a length of a TDF in a TFDF system.

  • Patent number: 11872463
    Abstract: A system and method for providing network-enabled signaling devices for sporting events are disclosed. An example embodiment is configured for: detecting an event at a sporting activity by use of a signal generator with a data processor and a sensor subsystem, the event detection being triggered by a sensor of the sensor subsystem detecting a signal exceeding a pre-defined threshold; generating a signal message including information indicative of the event detection; establishing, by use of the data processor of the signal generator, a connection with a data network; sending the signal message to a message broker via the data network; and causing the message broker to forward the signal message to subscribed subscriber platforms.

  • Publication number: 20230294021
    Abstract: A system for TFF filtration of a feedstock includes a feed vessel containing a solution comprising a target biomolecule, a filter membrane for filtering the solution, a feed pump for moving the solution from the feed vessel to the filter membrane, a buffer vessel coupled to the feed vessel by a buffer supply line, and a diafiltration pump disposed in the buffer supply line for delivering a buffer solution to the feed vessel. A variable path-length instrument is coupled to the feed line for determining, in real time, a concentration of the target biomolecule in the solution. A controller is coupled to the variable path-length instrument, the feed pump, and the diafiltration pump to control operation of the system based on the received information.

  • Patent number: 11680239
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of a hydrophobic hollow fiber filter for the filtration of cell cultures and other biological perfusions, due to its resistance to fouling, as well as the ability to filter solutions with a high solid content. A hydrophobic hollow fiber filter may be used within a filter housing in conjunction with a process vessel and a traditional separation system. When the system is used with alternating tangential flow or tangential flow filtration, the hydrophobic hollow fiber filter results in more effective filtration of the filtrate, leading to greater concentration of the retentate, even in solution containing high levels of solids.

  • Publication number: 20230058593
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to bioprocessing devices, systems, and methods, and particularly to sanitary connections for bioprocessing. The devices, systems, and methods described herein can relate to the sanitary connection of flow fittings, such as reducers, with considerations for ease of assembly and sealing. In some embodiments, the system may include a flow reducer, a ferrule and a gasket. The flow reducer may include a gasket channel, an overmold channel within the gasket channel, and one or more cavities within the overmold channel. The gasket may be overmolded within the gasket channel and extending within the one or more cavities.
