Valve switching cassette for selectively interconnecting components of a bioprocess installation

Abstract

A valve switching cassette for selectively interconnecting components of a bioprocess installation, wherein the valve switching cassette comprises at least one fluid flow system of ports and fluid lines, which fluid flow system includes primary ports, communicating with primary fluid lines, and secondary ports, communicating with secondary fluid lines, wherein the valve switching cassette comprises an array of switchable valve units for selectively interconnecting the primary fluid lines with the secondary fluid lines via transfer fluid lines. It is prosed, that the valve switching cassette comprises a transfer plate with apertures and an elastically deformable membrane structure on each flat side of the transfer plate, that at least part of the primary fluid lines and secondary fluid lines are extending between the transfer plate and one of the membrane structures and that the transfer fluid lines are at least partly provided by the apertures.
