  • Publication number: 20240139491
    Abstract: An aseptic connector includes first and second matable housings each comprising a plurality of connectors for fluid conduits. The fluid conduits enter the housings and may be force-fitted onto barbs or flanges on one side of the connectors, or may instead be molded directly onto the connectors. When the housings are joined, the opposite sides of the connectors mate to form fluid seals, thereby establishing fluid pathways between now-connected sets of tubes.

  • Publication number: 20230053902
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for manufacturing biologically-produced pharmaceutical products. Some of the systems described herein comprise an upstream component comprising a bioreactor and at least one filter (e.g., a filter probe) integrated with a downstream component comprising a purification module comprising at least a first partitioning unit and a second partitioning unit. In some embodiments; these integrated biomanufacturing systems may be operated under continuous or conditions and may be capable of efficiently producing pure, high-quality pharmaceutical products.

  • Publication number: 20200251186
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and evaluating candidate sequences of partitioning steps to partition at least one biologically produced product from at least one impurity. In some embodiments, a plurality of candidate sequences of partitioning steps may be generated, wherein at least one candidate sequence of the plurality of candidate sequences comprises a plurality of partitioning steps in a specified order. The plurality of candidate sequences may be evaluated. For instance, a data set associated with the at least one partitioning step may be accessed, the data set comprising: first data indicative of a behavior of the at least one biologically produced product with respect to the at least one partitioning step; and second data indicative of a behavior of the at least one impurity with respect to the at least one partitioning step. The at least one candidate sequence may be scored based at least in part on the data set.
