Abstract: A valve assembly with a multidirectional flow path includes a valve body that includes respective hinged portions defining respective passageways extending through the valve body when in a closed state. A flexible conduit or tubing having a loop portion and a plurality of branches extending from the loop portion is at least partially positioned within the valve body. Portions of the loop that extend beyond the valve body are encapsulated by respective rigid jackets. Multiple valves are situated on the valve body and are used to selectively pinch the loop portion in different pinching configurations to direct fluid to or from the particular branches. The valve assembly may be integrated into a manufacturing or other production process with optional additional jackets used to encapsulate the flexible conduit branches.

Abstract: A control unit includes a first connector configured to connect a proportional pressure regulator to a positive pressure supply and a second connector configured to connect the proportional pressure regulator to a negative pressure supply. The control unit further includes at least one sensor configured to detect an amount of air flow (volume per unit of time), positive or negative, within an air flow line connected to an output of the proportional pressure regulator, and a third connector configured to connect the air flow line to an air side of a diaphragm. Additionally, the control unit includes a controller programmed to control at least an opening and closing function of the proportional pressure regulator to attain a desired amount of air flow (volume per unit of time), positive or negative, within the air flow line.

Abstract: A method includes determining whether a variation in probe radiation intensity meets a stability criterion; directing the probe radiation through a probe, when the probe is disposed at a first position, defining a first path length L1 of the probe radiation through the fluid sample; measuring a transmitted intensity I1 of the probe radiation after passing through the fluid sample when the probe is disposed at the first position; directing the probe radiation through the probe when the probe is disposed at a second position, defining a second path length L2 of the probe radiation through the fluid sample; measuring a transmitted intensity I2 of the probe radiation after passing through the fluid sample when the probe is disposed at the second position; and determining a concentration C of a material in the fluid sample based upon L1, I1, L2, and I2, when the stability criterion is met.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of a hydrophobic hollow fiber filter for the filtration of cell cultures and other biological perfusions, due to its resistance to fouling, as well as the ability to filter solutions with a high solid content. A hydrophobic hollow fiber filter may be used within a filter housing in conjunction with a process vessel and a traditional separation system. When the system is used with alternating tangential flow or tangential flow filtration, the hydrophobic hollow fiber filter results in more effective filtration of the filtrate, leading to greater concentration of the retentate, even in solution containing high levels of solids.
