Abstract:
A method and a system and a container system for transferring separation resin from at least one first container (3; 3; 3a, 3b; 3a′, 3b′, 3c′, 3d′) to a second container (5; 5′), wherein said first container is a deformable, single-use separation resin storage container, said method comprising the steps of:—preparing (S1) the at least one first container by providing a deformable, single-use container comprising an outlet port (4′) with a predefined volume of separation resin in a storage solution;—fluidizing (S3) the separation resin in the at least one first container to provide a resin slurry, said fluidizing being performed by mechanical interaction to the first container from an outside of the first container to provide a deformation of said first container;—fluidically connecting (S5) the outlet port (4′) of the at least one first container to an inlet port (103) of the second container;—transferring (S7) separation resin from the at least one first container to the second container by generating a pressure difference between an interior of the second container and an interior of the first container where the pressure is lower in the second container.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus to monitor component status in a bioprocessing environment are disclosed and described. Certain examples provide a sensor device for a disposable bioprocessing component. The example sensor device includes a first portion affixed to the component, the first portion configured to provide an identifier associated with the component. The example sensor device also includes a second portion configured to provide a status indication based on a state of the component. The example sensor device is configured to transmit the identifier and status indication to a control computer associated with a bioprocessing platform including the component.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a flexible bag assembly for cultivation of cells, comprising one or more bags forming a plurality of cultivation compartments, wherein a drain port in at least a first cultivation compartment is adapted to be fluidically connected with a second cultivation compartment upon opening of a valve means. It also discloses a bioreactor with the bag assembly mounted on a rocking tray and a method of cultivating cells in the assembly.

Abstract:
A chromatography column distribution system includes a set of first bed support ribs extending radially from an inner, first radial position near the centre of the plate to an outer radial position nearer to the periphery of the plate and at least one set of intermediate bed support ribs starting at an intermediate radial position and extending to an outer radial position nearer to the periphery of the plate. Channels are formed between adjacent bed support ribs. The desired local effective channel height varies in accordance with a predetermined formula from the first radial position to the outer radial position. The transverse cross-sectional areas of the ribs or the channels are adapted such that the actual local effective channel height is within 15% of the desired local effective channel height over portions of the distribution system situated between the first radial position and the outer radial position. The length of the portions correspond to at least 80% of the distance between the first and outer radial position and the outer radial position.
Abstract:
The invention discloses an immunoglobulin-binding magnetic bead, comprising a porous matrix and one or more magnetic particles embedded in said matrix, wherein said matrix comprises a porous polymer and at least 10 mg/ml Fc-binding proteinaceous ligands covalently coupled to said porous polymer.
