    Abstract: A perfusion bioprocessing system (10) includes a bioreactor (12) and a recirculation flow path (14) provided with at least in one first feed flow control device (46) and at least one second feed control device (48). The perfusion bioprocessing system (10) further includes a first tangential flow filter (16) coupled to the bioreactor (12) via the recirculation flow path (14) and a second tangential flow filter (18) coupled to the bioreactor (12) via the recirculation flow path (14). The first tangential flow filter and the second tangential flow filter are coupled to a permeate flow path and a retentate flow path. Additionally, the perfusion bioprocessing system (10) includes a control unit (90) coupled to the at least one first feed flow control device (38) and the at least one second feed control device (40).
