    Abstract: A bio-processing system (100) is presented. The bio-processing system (100) includes one or more bio-processing units (110-114), one or more process supporting devices (116, 118), one or more sensors (120-132), and a bio-processing workflow controller (104) wirelessly coupled to at least one of the one or more bio-processing units (110-114), the one or more process supporting devices (116, 118), and the one or more sensors (120-132). The bio-processing workflow controller (104) includes a processor (202) configured to create a reconfigurable bio-processing workflow, and where the reconfigurable bio-processing workflow is representative of an arrangement of one or more of the one or more bio-processing units (110-114), the one or more process supporting devices (116, 118), and the one or more sensors (120-32) to perform at least one bio-processing operation.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reconfigurable bioprocessing system (80) operable to perform a predetermined set of bioprocessing operations therein. The reconfigurable bioprocessing system (80) comprises a base unit (60) comprising a plurality of valve actuators (102). At least one of the plurality of valve actuators (102) is operable to releasably engage with at least part of a pinch valve cassette (103, 203) to control fluid flow through the pinch valve cassette (103, 203). At least part of the pinch valve cassette (103, 203) is removably attachable to the base unit (60) and the pinch valve cassette (103, 203) is provided adjacent to said plurality of valve actuators (102). The reconfigurable bioprocessing system (80) also includes a control system operable to selectively actuate respective of said plurality of valve actuators (102) to provide a valve configuration within the pinch valve cassette (103, 203) to enable the base unit (60) and the pinch valve cassette (103, 203) together to perform one of the predetermined set of bioprocessing operations. A flow kit (107) for use in reconfigurable bioprocessing systems (80) and various methods (1000) for reconfiguring bioprocessing systems (80) (e.g. automatically) are also disclosed.
