Environmental containment systems, and in certain embodiments, systems and methods involving vessels and unit operations or components of cell culture, cell containment, bioreactor, chemical manufacturing, or pharmaceutical manufacturing systems provided with environmental containment are provided. Certain vessels, unit operations, devices, and components may be used to perform all or part of biological, chemical, and/or pharmaceutical manufacturing processes therein. In some embodiments, an environmental containment system includes a multi-level containment apparatus. For instance, a first substantially closed environmental containment enclosure may be contained within a second substantially closed environmental containment enclosure; the first and second enclosures may be contained in a third substantially closed environmental containment enclosure, etc. Each of the environments within the substantially closed environmental containment enclosures may be controlled independently, and leakage of any materials from an inner system may be contained by an outer system.

Disclosed herein are fluid containment systems such as gas delivery configurations, foam control systems and bag molding methods and articles for supported collapsible bag vessels and bioreactors. A vessel may include a device which can reduce the foam produced or contained within the vessel. Sensors and/or controllers may optionally be used to monitor and/or control foaming.
摘要:
Systems and methods for containing and manipulating fluids, such as those involving collapsible bags and rigid containers that may be used as mixing systems, and as reactors for performing chemical, biochemical and/or biological reactions, are provided. A series of improvements and features for fluid containment systems such as containers including bag wrinkle removing systems, leak detection systems, and electromagnetic agitation systems are described.
摘要:
Systems and methods for containing and manipulating liquids, including vessels and unit operations or components of cell culture, cell containment, bioreactor, and/or pharmaceutical manufacturing systems, are provided. In certain embodiments, such vessels and unit operations are directed to continuous perfusion reactor or bioreactor systems and may include one or more disposable components. For instance, in one aspect, a system includes an apparatus in the form of a bioreactor for harvesting cells which produce one or more products. The apparatus may include a disposable, collapsible bag adapted for containing a liquid, the collapsible bag in fluid communication with a liquid-solids (e.g., cell) separation device. For example, an outlet of the collapsible bag may be connected to an inlet of the separation device, and an outlet of the separation device may be connected to an inlet of the collapsible bag for recycle. Accordingly, after separating the cells from the liquid in the separation device, the cells can be flowed back into the collapsible bag where they can be re-harvested. Meanwhile, product contained in the liquid can be collected in a separate container. The efficiency of product formation in such a system may be enhanced by using mixing systems described herein.

摘要:
The invention provides methods for identifying and isolating cells that express high levels of protein. A method is described for identifying a cell or cell line expressing a desired protein comprising determining in a cell or cell line that has been transfected with a vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding the desired protein the intracellular expression levels of elements of the vector and also determining expression of the desired protein on the surface of the cell or cell line, in certain cases in a single assay.
