摘要:
A method is provided for measuring status parameters of a fluid contained in a container (10). The container (10) is configured for single use and has a wall on which a sensor-carrier plate is fixed in a fluid-tight manner. The plate carries sensors (S1-S5) that are in operative contact with the internal chamber of the container (10) and connected for data exchange (14) with an external control unit (16) that receives and processes the measurement data from the sensors (S1-S5). The sensor plate also carries a temporarily inactive duplicate (D1-D5) of at least one of the sensors (S1-S5) that is activated if measurement data of the sensor (S1-S5) is classified as atypical in the context of an integrity or plausibility test carried out by the external control unit (16).

A mixing device (10) comprises a flexible container (14), at least one stirring element (22) and at least one baffle (24). The baffle (24) is formed on the inside on a circumferential side wall (16) of the flexible container (14) and has a free end protruding into the interior of the container (14). A main application of the mixing device (10) is considered to be the use as disposable bioreactor.

A receptacle has a wall defining a receptacle interior and a shaft housing for guiding a shaft through the wall into the receptacle interior. The shaft housing defines an annular cap with spaced apart inner and outer walls connected by an inner end face facing the receptacle interior. A shaft guide part has an end facing the receptacle interior and an outer surface that defines a gap relative to the inner wall of the shaft housing. The shaft guide part has an annular wall spaced apart from and parallel to its outer surface. The annular wall extends over the free end of the inner wall of the shaft housing and is sealed to the inner and outer walls of the shaft housing by at least one seal each. The shaft guide part is mounted in the shaft housing by a radial ball bearing and by an axial ball bearing.

The invention relates to a device for culturing cells in a bioreactor, the waste-air line of which leading out of the reactor interior comprises a waste-air filter having a sterile-filtration microfilter membrane, wherein at least one prefilter having a hydrophobic filter material is placed upstream of the waste-air filter toward the reactor interior.

A bioreactor has a stirrer shaft that is driveable by a drive and on which a stirrer element is positioned. The position of the stirrer element is determined by a stirrer installation aid. The stirrer installation aid has a free end with an abutment surface on which the free end of the stirrer element abuts. The stirrer installation aid is designed as a sleeve that comprises a slot extending between the axial ends of the sleeve. The slot is delimited by opposite flanks of a wall, and the sleeve is placed on the stirrer shaft. The stirrer installation aid can be pulled off laterally from the stirrer shaft. A method for installing the stirrer element on the stirrer shaft arranged in the bioreactor also is provided.

摘要:
A method is provided for measuring parameters of state of a fluid contained in a container (10, 10′) that has a sensor carrier plate with plural sensors (S01-S10, S01′-S10′). Each sensor has a sensor head in operative contact with the interior of the container (10, 10′) and in operative contact with an external control unit (12). The external control unit (12) receives measurement data generated by the sensor heads of active sensors via their communication link and processes the data. An activation data record (24, 24′) is assigned to each sensor (S01-S10, S01′-S10′) and is recorded in a manner that is accessible for the external control unit (12). The external control unit (12) first accesses the activation data records (24, 24′), then classifies the sensors (S01-S10, S01′-S10′) as activatable or nonactivatable sensors, and subsequently activates only those sensors classified as activatable sensors.

A container (1) has a flexible wall (2) and at least one emptying tube (4, 4′, 4″) that projects through a wall aperture (7) into the container interior (3) surrounded by the flexible wall (2). The free end (12) of the emptying tube has an emptying opening (13) that can be set in position vertically to different emptying heights (14). The container (1) is distinguished in that an adapter piece (8), in which the emptying tube (4, 4′, 4″) is held in a longitudinally displaceable manner, is arranged in the wall aperture and in that a portion of the emptying tube (4, 4′, 4″) is surrounded by a flexible sheath (5) that is connected at a first end (11) to the emptying tube (4, 4′, 4″) and at its second end (10), which is remote from the first end (11), to the wall (2) or the adapter piece (8).
