Bioprocessing system and consumable bag for a bioprocessing system
A bioreactor system, includes a base platform, a lid received atop the base platform and defining an interior space for receiving a bioprocessing bag, and a tubing management system supporting a tubing array a distance above the base platform and providing a means for quickly connecting and/or disconnecting a fluid supply line.
1 . A bioreactor system, comprising:
a base platform;
a bioprocessing bag or a bioreactor bag;
a lid received atop the base platform and defining an interior space for receiving the bioprocessing bag or the bioreactor bag; and
a tubing array; and
a tubing management system supporting the tubing array a distance above the base platform, the tubing management system configured to provide a means for quickly connecting and disconnecting a fluid supply line,
wherein the tubing management system includes scaffolding directly connected to the base platform and supporting the tubing array above the base platform, wherein the bioprocessing bag or the bioreactor bag are positioned above the base platform.
2 . The bioreactor system of claim 1 , further comprising;
an access door in the lid.
3 . The bioreactor system of claim 2 , wherein:
the scaffolding is in the form of a gantry.
4 . The bioreactor system of claim 1 , wherein:
the tubing management system connects the tubing array to an underside of the lid.
5 . The bioreactor system of claim 1 , wherein:
the bioprocessing bag or the bioreactor bag includes a vent filter having an integrated check valve.
6 . The bioreactor system of claim 1 , wherein:
the bioprocessing bag or the bioreactor bag includes a perfusion filter secured to an interior surface of the bioprocessing bag or the bioreactor bag and spaced from the interior surface.
7 . The bioreactor system of claim 1 , further comprising a bioreactor support plate comprising a bag support area and a recessed opening located in said bag support area, wherein an insert comprising one or more sensors, drain ports, RFID modules and mixing enhancement components is fitted in said recessed opening.
