Abstract
An aseptic bioprocess package is provided herein. The aseptic bioprocess package includes a 2D flexible container including an interior compartment, a height having an upper half and a lower half, an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet being disposed on the same half of the 2D flexible container and a channel-forming feature in the interior compartment of the container, the channel-forming feature being configured to maintain a fluid flow path that fluidly connects the interior compartment of the flexible container with the outlet.
Claims30
An aseptic bioprocess package, comprising:
- a 2D flexible container comprising an interior compartment, a height having an upper half and a lower half, an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet being disposed on the same half of the 2D flexible container;
- and
- a single channel-forming feature in the interior compartment of the container, the channel-forming feature being configured to maintain a fluid flow path that fluidly connects the interior compartment of the flexible container with the outlet;
- wherein the 2D flexible container comprises two sheets hermetically sealed along edges of the two sheets to form the interior compartment;
- and
- wherein the channel-forming feature is a singular raised portion that is more rigid than the sheets, which extends from an interior face of at least one of the two sheets to the interior compartment and prevents the two sheets of the 2D flexible container from isolating fluid in the 2D flexible container.

- and
- a channel-forming feature extender having an opening disposed between a lower extension and an upper extension;
- and
- a side extension comprising an interior channel fluidly connecting the opening to an interior channel of the upper extension;
- wherein the 2D flexible container comprises two sheets hermetically sealed along edges of the two sheets to form the interior compartment;
- wherein the channel-forming feature comprises a singular raised portion that is more rigid than the sheets, which extends from an interior face of at least one of the two sheets to the interior compartment and prevents the two sheets of the 2D flexible container from isolating fluid in the 2D flexible container;
- and
- wherein the interior channel fluidly connects the opening to the outlet.
