Abstract
Disclosed is a hollow fiber filter arrangement and a bioreactor system comprising such a hollow fiber filter arrangement. The hollow fiber filter arrangement comprising: an inlet for receiving a sample to be filtered in the hollow fiber filter arrangement; an outlet for delivering of the filtered sample out from the hollow fiber filter arrangement; a bundle of elongate hollow fibers connected at a first end to the inlet and connected at an opposite second end to the outlet; and an outer housing enclosing the bundle, wherein a filtrate/waste collection space is provided between the outer housing and the at least one elongated hollow fiber, and wherein the outer housing is made from a flexible material.
Claims20
A hollow fiber filter arrangement comprising:
- an inlet for receiving a sample to be filtered in the hollow fiber filter arrangement;
- an outlet for delivering the filtered sample out from the hollow fiber filter arrangement;
- at least one elongated hollow fiber connected at a first end to the inlet and connected at an opposite second end to the outlet;
- and
- an outer housing enclosing the at least one elongated hollow fiber such that a filtrate collection space substantially surrounds the at least one elongated hollow fiber, wherein the outer housing comprises:
- an elongate outer housing part made from a flexible material;
- a first end fitment connected to a first end of the elongate outer housing part;
- and
- a second end fitment connected to a second end of the elongate outer housing part;
- wherein the first end fitment and the second end fitment each have an elongated boat shape defined by a first curved sidewall and a second curved sidewall connected to one another at opposite ends of the boat shape.
