Abstract
A bioreactor system including a pliable bag for containing a liquid, an air inlet port positioned at a top portion of said pliable bag and one or more tubes connected to the inlet port and running along a height and/or width of the bag. The tube(s) has a closed distal end and a plurality of openings running a length thereof with a configuration and/or diameter of each of the openings selected such that flow of air through the openings is substantially equal along the length of the tube.
Claims12
-13. (canceled)
A bioreactor system comprising:
- (a) a pliable bag for containing a liquid;
- (b) an air inlet port positioned at a top portion of said pliable bag;
- and
- (c) at least one tube connected to said inlet port and having a closed distal end positioned at a bottom portion of said pliable bag, said tube having a plurality of openings running a length thereof with a configuration and/or diameter of each of said openings being selected such that flow of air through said openings is substantially equal along said length of said tube when said tube is positioned within a liquid contained within said pliable bag.
A bioreactor system comprising:
- (a) a pliable bag for containing a liquid;
- (b) an air inlet port positioned at a top portion of said pliable bag;
- and
- (c) at least single tube connected to said inlet port and having a closed distal end positioned at a bottom portion of said pliable bag, said tube having a plurality of air openings running a length thereof wherein a distal end of said tube is maintained in a position within said pliable bag via magnets.
A bioreactor system comprising:
- (a) a pliable bag for containing a liquid;
- and
- (b) a first valve assembly positioned at a bottom of said pliable bag, said first valve assembly being operable by a second valve assembly of an external harvesting and filling unit, such that both said first valve assembly and said second valve assembly open upon engagement to enable harvesting or filling of said pliable bag.
