摘要:
The invention relates to a waste gas system for bioreactors having a hydrophobic sterile filter, arranged at the end, and a heat exchanger which protects the sterile filter against blocking by liquid media. The gas outflow duct for discharging waste gas from a bioreactor vessel is divided in a cooling zone of the heat exchanger into a multiplicity of subducts and is extended in a heating zone of the heat exchanger to a calming zone. Due to the multiplicity of subducts, a considerably larger surface area for the removal of heat from the waste gas is available, with the result that in the case of laminar flow of the waste gas through the subducts a high effectiveness of the separation of liquids from the waste gas can be achieved. In the heating zone, the waste gas can heat up again due to the reduced flow rate until it reaches the hydrophobic sterile filter by way of taking up heat from the surroundings to a such a degree that the relative vapor contents are below 100% and separation of liquids from residual vapors at or in the hydrophobic sterile filter is precluded.

Disclosed is a method for verification of the removal of viruses to validate filters, filtering processes, physical and chemical inactivation processes, or adsorptive removal processes in predefined process conditions that are simulated on a small scale. According to said method, viruses are cultured in suitable cell lines in a first step, a virus suspension is obtained after solubilizing cells in a second step, the virus suspension obtained is added in a third step to a protein solution that is to be analyzed, and the virus-containing protein solution is filtered through the filter that is to be validated, and the removal of viruses is then analyzed in a fourth step. The virus suspension is first processed via a membrane adsorber following step two, the viruses being bonded to the membrane adsorber and contaminants being removed with the aid of a detergent buffer solution, while the bonded, purified viruses are eluted from the membrane adsorber area and are added to the protein solution that is to be analyzed as a concentrated virus suspension in step three.
摘要:
The invention discloses an apparatus for removing samples or introducing fluids from/into system(s) having flexible walls. A sampler/fluid dispenser (3) is fixed on the outside with a connecting area (4) of its base (5) on a sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6) of the flexible wall (2) and, in its interior, has a severing element (8). At least the severing element (8) can be pushed forward in the direction of the sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6) in order to remove the samples and in order to introduce fluids, in such a way that the wall (2) can be perforated within the sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6). The system (1) comprises containers, bags or tubes for filling, mixing, transporting, storage of media, such as biological liquids, sera, buffers, ultra-pure water and can be used as biological reactors or cell culture vessels in the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry.

The invention relates to a method for purifying and/or isolating high-molecular compounds, such as high-molecular proteins or protein-type compounds, contained in a solution or a suspension, by means of affinity chromatography using membranes containing metal ions.
摘要:
There is disclosed a filter package comprising a housing and a cover that is adapted to enclose a sterile disposable filter wherein the package cover is penetrable at a point axially aligned with the filter and has at least one pre-formed break line along which the package cover, when subjected to appropriate force, ruptures so as to permit withdrawal of the filter by a syringe coupled thereto.
摘要:
The hydrophilicity of porous separation membranes is maintained by bonding the membranes to thermoplastic fiber substrates at least on their peripheries before the membrane peripheries are sealed in a thermoplastic resin. The membranes are capable of being integrity tested.
