    Abstract: Disclosed is an ultra-violet (UV) light sterilisable fluid-guiding element (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) configurable to form a part of a normally closed bioprocessing fluid system, at least a portion of the element being formed from a material which is transmissive to UV light, said at least one portion of the element including one or more surfaces (134) configured to contact and guide fluids within the closed system. The element further includes at least one UV light emitting diode (LED) (154) mounted in, on, or adjacent the at least one portion and has sufficient light output to sterilise at least the one or more surfaces (134).

    Abstract: A valve (100) for a bioprocess liquid apparatus (199) comprises tubular sections (101, 102, 103) inside which valve seat means (155) are arranged. A plunger arrangement (150) is configured to selectively interact with the valve seat means to close and open the tubular sections in response to a magnetic field provided by solenoid arrangements (104, 105), the solenoid arrangements being arranged at the bioprocess liquid apparatus. A flow path device comprising such a valve and a bioprocess liquid apparatus and a method of handling a bioprocess liquid are also disclosed.
