Filter system for biopharmaceutical processes

Distributor plate for a filter system for biopharmaceutical processes, said distributor plate comprising a distributor unit, which is arranged within the distributor plate and is configured to fluidically connect to at least one filter unit, wherein the filter unit rests against the distributor plate;

• wherein the distributor unit is configured to guide the fluid to be filtered to the at least one filter unit and/or to receive and discharge the filtered fluid from the at least one filter unit, and
• wherein the distributor unit comprises at least one active control element, with which a fluid flow, which flows through the distributor unit and the at least one filter unit, is controlled in an open loop flow or in a closed loop flow,
• wherein the distributor unit is tubeless, and
• wherein the fluid connection between the at least one filter unit and the distributor plate is tubeless.

Method for producing a filter system for biopharmaceutical processes, said method comprising:

• providing at least one filter unit;
• providing at least one distributor plate, which has a tubeless distributor unit that is arranged within the distributor plate, and at least one active control element;
• and
• arranging tubelessly the at least one filter unit on the distributor plate such that the at least one filter unit and the distributor unit are fluidically connected to one another;
• wherein the distributor unit is configured to guide the fluid to be filtered to the at least one filter unit and/or to receive and discharge the filtered fluid from the at least one filter unit, and
• wherein the at least one active control element is configured to control a fluid flow through the distributor unit and the at least one filter unit in an open loop flow or in a closed loop flow.
