Patents by Inventor Tristan Wilkins

Tristan Wilkins has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240132830
    Abstract: A method for delivering a processing solution includes providing a concentrated processing solution in a bioprocess container, the concentrated processing solution being produced at a first site. The method also includes combining the concentrated processing solution with a biopolymer containing solution produced in a bioreactor at a second site different from the first site. In some embodiments, the processing solution is a buffer for processing products of cells cultured in a bioreactor. A system and a pharmaceutical production facility for carrying out the method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11965152
    Abstract: The monitoring and control of bioprocesses is provided. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to formulating buffer products from multiple buffer solutions for feeding the different operations occurring within a bioprocess line. As the buffer product is being formulated, the buffer product is tested for conductivity, refractive index, and optionally pH. The conductivity measurements are used in conjunction with refractive index measurements to ensure that the buffer product not only has the correct concentration of ions but also has the correct concentration of components. A controller can be used to make automatic adjustments to the buffer product should any of the measured parameters fall outside a preset range.

  • Publication number: 20190367858
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the organic growth and phasing design for a system for the industrial growth of biologics. A system may include a number of subsystems, such as a buffer distribution subsystem, a media preparation subsystem, a bioreactor subsystem, a harvest subsystem, and/or a purification subsystem. The subsystems may be highly interconnected for flexible process flow design. Additionally, the subsystems may be constructed with a total output capacity with a total number of equipment stations and operated at a lower output capacity with fewer than the total equipment stations to maintain headroom for growth in phases.
