Patent number: 11511281Abstract: A fluid transfer device includes a syringe barrel having a chamber, a first plunger slidably movable inside the chamber, and a second plunger slidably movable inside the chamber. The distal end portion of the first plunger is engageable with the proximal end portion of the second plunger such that when the distal end portion of the first plunger and the proximal end portion of the second plunger are engaged, the second plunger is movable by the first plunger. A check valve may be incorporated into the distal end portion of the second plunger to allow a fluid to pass therethrough in a direction towards the proximal end portion of the second plunger and prevent a fluid to pass therethrough in a reverse direction. A fluid transfer assembly and a sampling method are also described.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: Joseph Muldoon, Rene Reinbigler

Publication number: 20210347156Abstract: A material for biocontainers comprising a film formed of two or more layers forming a body to the film, the film having an interior and exterior side, and a substrate incorporated in the body of the film wherein the substrate is formed of a fibrous material, wherein each of the at least one of the two or more layers comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate resin. A non-constrained pressure test is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Brian Pereira, John Saragosa, Joseph Muldoon

Publication number: 20210322901Abstract: A filtration module is provided, the module including at least one filtration packet containing filtration media or one or more membranes, such as a stack of membranes, the at least one filtration packet having one or more fluid ports, the one or more fluid ports being surrounded by a primary seal and a secondary seal spaced from the primary seal. The secondary seals are designed to maintain sterility of the assembly during shipping, handling and/or installation. A removable film may cover one or more fluid ports to maintain sterility prior to use.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2019Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Michael James Susienka, Jeremy Perreault, Joseph Geringer, Brian Hillier, Joseph Muldoon, John Paul Amara

Patent number: 10940307Abstract: Fluid transfer device and method that allows for sterile wet connections, allows the connection to be reversed, and allows the connection to be reconnected, while leaving the connectors sterile and reusable under pressure. In certain embodiments, the device includes a first member and a second member, the latter adapted to receive the former in locking engagement upon actuation of the device to create fluid communication between the two in a sterile manner. Each of the members include a door that when opened, allows the first member to be linearly displaced into the second member to allow fluid to be transferred. When fluid transfer is complete, the first member can be retracted from the second member, and the doors closed.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: EMD Millipore CorporationInventors: James Vigna, Joseph Muldoon, John Cieciuch, Robert Langlois
