Abstract
A customized pump, filtration, oxygenation and/or debubbler apparatus includes a first pump module, a filtration module, an oxygenation module, a debubbler module and/or a second pump module. Each module is formed of stackable support members with filtration, oxygenation and/or degassing membranes interposed therebetween.
Claims26
Apparatus capable of one or more of pumping, filtering, oxygenating and degassing a fluid, comprising:
- a plurality of stackable support members assembled to form one or more of a pumping module, filtering module, oxygenating module and debubbling module;
- and
- wherein each module has a connector and selectively connects to at least one other module having a different function selected from the group consisting of pumping, filtering, oxgenating and debubbling.
A method of making an apparatus for pumping, filtering, oxygenating and/or degassing a fluid, comprising:
- assembling a plurality of stackable support members to form one or more of a pumping module, filtering module, oxygenating module and debubbling module;
- and
- assembling at least two modules together each module having a different function selected from the group consisting of pumping filtering oxygenating and debubbling.
A method for pumping, filtering, oxygenating and/or degassing a fluid, comprising:
- flowing a fluid through a plurality of modules, each module formed of a plurality of stackable support members, and each module capable of one of pumping, filtering, oxygenating and debubbling a fluid wherein the modules comprise a filtration module, an oxygenation module and a debubbler module.
