A valve block (100) for controlling a flow of fluid into, and/or out of, a solution management system for bioprocessing (200), the valve block (100) being a single unit and comprising:
- at least one inlet port (10);
- at least one outlet port (20);
- and
- four or more valve sections (30) fluidly connected to the at least one inlet port (10) and the at least one outlet port (20), each valve section (30) being configured to receive a valve element (32) for control of fluid through the valve block (100);
- wherein at least two valve sections (30) are fluidly connected with each other by means of an integrally formed first channel (40), which changes direction two or more times.
A valve block (100) for controlling a flow of fluid into, and/or out of, a solution management system (200) for bioprocessing, the valve block (100) being a single unit with six sides (110) and comprising:
- at least one inlet port (10) arranged at any of the sides (110) of the valve block (100);
- at least one outlet port (20) arranged at any of the sides (110) of the valve block (100);
- at least one valve section (30) fluidly connected to the at least one inlet port (10) and the at least one outlet port (20), the valve section (30) being configured to receive a valve element (32) for controlling fluid through the valve block (100);
- and
- at least one integrally formed hose connector portion (60) protruding from the valve block (100) in connection with the at least one inlet port (10) or the at least one outlet port (20);
- wherein the at least one hose connector portion (60) extends longitudinally with an angle (α) in relation to the side (110) of the valve block (100) on which it is arranged, wherein the angle (α) is within the range of 30-85 degrees.
