  • Publication number: 20240101945
    Abstract: Systems and devices for producing biological products and methods of using the same are provided. An example universal skid includes a rigid support and a plurality of flow-channel hardware sets. Each flow-channel hardware set couples with a respective flow channel of a plurality of flow channels for unit operations. The flow-channel hardware sets allow the flow channels to operate in parallel or in series for continuous processing over the unit operations. An example modular assembly includes one or more single-use kits for one or more unit operations and a universal skid coupled with the one or more single-use kits. An example manufacturing system includes multiple modular assemblies coupled with each other allowing continuous processing within each modular assembly, in between the modular assemblies, fully continuous processing across multiple unit operations.
