SINGLE-USE BIOREACTOR ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED PUMP HEADS

摘要

A bioreactor assembly component can include a length of tubing having an integrated pump head along its length, with a portion of the tubing extending between the pump head and a container, such as a single-use bioreactor. The integrated pump head can be configured to engage with an external driving component to control the operation of the integrated pump head without breaching the sterility of the integrated pump head. The integrated pump head can include only components which can be gamma sterilized, allowing the bioreactor assembly component to be sterilized and stored before use. The bioreactor assembly component can be used with a control module including a pump driver configured to engage with and control the operation of the integrated pump driver, and can include components which can monitor and control the operation of a bioprocess within a single-use bioreactor.
