BIOPROCESSING VESSEL HAVING INTEGRAL FLUID CONDUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018453 titled 'BIOPROCESSING VESSEL HAVING INTEGRAL FLUID CONDUIT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a bioprocessing apparatus that includes a flexible bag with an interior volume for holding a fluid. The bag also has an integral fluid conduit, which is a panel of material joined to the interior sidewall of the bag. This fluid conduit creates a channel for the fluid between the interior sidewall and the panel of material. The fluid conduit may have a bottom outlet opening, a top outlet opening, or both. The apparatus may also have ports in the top and/or bottom of the bag, which are fluidly connected to the integral fluid conduit.

  • The patent application describes a bioprocessing apparatus with a flexible bag and an integral fluid conduit.
  • The integral fluid conduit is a panel of material joined to the interior sidewall of the bag.
  • The fluid conduit creates a channel for the fluid between the interior sidewall and the panel of material.
  • The fluid conduit may have a bottom outlet opening, a top outlet opening, or both.
  • The apparatus may have ports in the top and/or bottom of the bag, which are connected to the integral fluid conduit.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Bioprocessing and biomanufacturing industries can use this apparatus for various fluid handling processes.
  • The flexible bag with an integral fluid conduit allows for efficient and controlled fluid transfer and manipulation.
  • This technology can be used in the production of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other biologics.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The integral fluid conduit eliminates the need for separate tubing or connectors, reducing the risk of contamination and simplifying the setup.
  • The flexible bag design allows for easy storage, transportation, and disposal of the bioprocessing apparatus.
  • The fluid conduit provides a sealed and controlled environment for fluid handling, minimizing the risk of leaks or spills.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness in bioprocessing operations.
  • Enhanced control and precision in fluid transfer and manipulation.
  • Reduced risk of contamination and improved product quality.
  • Simplified setup and operation of bioprocessing systems.
  • Easy storage, transportation, and disposal of the apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

a bioprocessing apparatus includes a flexible bag having an interior volume configured to contain a fluid, and an integral fluid conduit within the flexible bioprocessing bag. the integral fluid conduit includes a panel of material joined to an interior sidewall of the flexible bag so as to define a fluid channel between the interior sidewall of the flexible bag and the panel of material. the integral fluid conduit may include a bottom outlet opening, a top outlet opening, or both. the apparatus may further include a port in a top of the flexible bag, a port in the bottom of the flexible bag, or both, wherein the integral fluid conduit is fluidly connected to the ports.
