A tank for a bio-pharma process

Abstract

The present invention relates to a reservoir element (200) for a tank 1 of a bio-pharma process line, the reservoir element (200) including a body element (210), and at least one shell element (220, 222). The body element (210) has a first end (212) and a second end (214), being opposite the first end, each of the first and second ends including an orifice, and wherein the body element tapers from the first end to the second end, wherein an inner volume is defined between the first and second ends. The body element and/or the at least one shell element include at least one groove (216, 217), wherein the at least one shell element (220, 222) is fixedly attached to the body element (210) so that the body element and the at least one shell element sandwich the groove in between forming at least one channel, the at least one channel being adapted for guiding at least one biochemical medium and/or an operating medium.
