Abstract: A system for processing a biological fluid that includes a bioreactor, wherein the bioreactor includes a window, at least one port for allowing delivery of a processing aid; a control system, a sensor; a transmitter for transmitting the signal; a signal converter; a controller for receiving the signal; and a valve for delivering the processing aid to the port, wherein the sensor senses a process condition, transmits the signal, and the signal is compared with a reference signal and wherein a process action is optionally taken based on the comparison.

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: An alignment device for a bag containing one or more ports wherein the alignment device is attached to the one or more ports or to the bag adjacent the one or more ports. 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.
