Abstract
A single-use fluid storage and filtration system includes a process vessel, a filter module including a hollow fiber filter element, and a drive module coupled to the filter module. The filter module is fixed to the process vessel and is in fluid communication with the process vessel for filtering a fluid received from the process vessel. The drive module includes a pump to induce flow of the fluid between the filter module and the process vessel. The process vessel, filter module and drive module comprise a single integrated and sterilized assembly.
