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 fluid filtration assembly includes a filter housing having a first end for fluid connection with a fluid storage vessel. A filter cartridge is disposable within the filter housing, and a plunger pump is coupled at a second end of the filter housing. The plunger pump includes a housing having a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The flexible portion has a plunger-engaging portion for coupling to the plunger of an actuator. The flexible portion selectively movable with respect to the rigid portion via the actuator. The filter cartridge can be a hollow fiber filter. The plunger pump can be configured to induce alternating tangential flow in at least a portion of the assembly. The fluid filtration assembly can be provided as a disposable single-use arrangement.

Abstract: Vessel configured to facilitate concentration of a product in a solution. The vessel may include outlet ports to deliver the solution to a processing system (such as a filtration system), and inlet ports. The inlet ports may be at progressively lower levels for return of fluid thereto reduced in volume as a result of filtration thereof. A smaller volume sump may be provided below a main tank of the vessel to facilitate concentration of the solution. The sump may include ridges facilitating collection of the product of interest from the solution, and/or reinforcing the sump walls, and optionally forming a vortex breaker. A spray ball may be provided to spray materials, such as buffer solution, into the vessel. The spray ball may direct materials to facilitate retrieval of product from the vessel. One or more components of the vessel may be advantageously formed of disposable material for single use thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods that integrate sensors into bioprocessing systems and, advantageously, do not require significant re-engineering of these systems. The disclosure describes an assembly for alternating tangential flow filtration. The assembly also includes a sensor inserted into the first hemisphere of the pump housing via the port. In various embodiments, the port comprises a tri-clover connector, and the sensor is optionally inserted into the port through a plug sized to substantially occlude the port and to place the sensor in contact with a fluid in the pump housing.

Abstract: A fluid filtration assembly includes a filter housing having first and second ends and a connector for fluid communication with a fluid storage vessel. A filter element is disposable within the filter housing, and first and second pumps are coupled at the first and second ends of the filter housing. A controller may coordinate the operation of the first and second pumps to induce alternating tangential flow of fluid between the filter housing and the first and second pumps. At least one of the first and second pumps is a diaphragm pump or a plunger pump. The fluid storage vessel can be a bioreactor.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to diaphragm pumps with one or more filters, e.g., tangential flow filters, membranes, and ultrafiltration membranes, for various applications, including, e.g., bioprocessing and pharmaceutical applications, systems employing such filters, and methods of filtration using the same. In an aspect, a pump for alternating tangential flow filtration may include a diaphragm. A housing may contain the diaphragm. The housing may have a first end open to a retentate channel of a first membrane. A magnetic member may be coupled to the diaphragm. An electromagnetic field generator may be disposed about the magnetic member.
