Abstract
Provided is a biological fluidic system that provides a high degree of sterilization by performing the biological processing in a closed system in which the fluid is contained in chambers that are isolated from the environment in a manner that does not permit ingress of contaminants.
Claims20
A system for cultivating microorganisms or performing biological processing, comprising:
- a fluid driving mechanism;
- and
- a processing arrangement formed between two pliable polymeric sheets, the processing arrangement comprising:
- a processing chamber,
- a duct extending between two ports of the chamber to permit flow of fluid between the two ports through the duct, and
- a flow-driving region defined within the duct, flow-driving region is configured for engagement with the fluid driving mechanism to thereby propel fluid flow between the two ports in response to selective pressure on different pliable regions of the flow-driving region.

A cultivating arrangement formed between two pliable polymeric sheets, the cultivating arrangement comprising:
- a cultivation chamber,
- a duct extending between two ports of the chamber to permit flow of fluid between the two ports through the duct, and having
- a flow-driving region defined within the duct that is configured for engagement with a fluid driving mechanism to thereby propel fluid flow between the two ports in response to selective pressure on different pliable regions of said flow-driving region.
A biological fluidic system comprising:
- a fluid driving mechanism;
- and
- a biological arrangement formed between two pliable polymeric sheets, the biological arrangement comprising:
- at least one chamber,
- at least one duct to permit flow of fluid between two ports of a chamber and/or between two chambers, and
- a flow-driving region defined within the at least one duct that is configured for engagement with the fluid driving mechanism to thereby propel fluid flow between the two ports in response to selective pressure on different pliable regions of said flow-driving regions.
