- the vessel the core bioprocess bag plus all attachments, penetrations, sensors, etc.
- the inside of the bag, tubing and components may be considered sterile, providing a "sterile envelope" protecting the contents of the vessel from airborne contaminants outside.
- Bubble size and distribution can be controlled by passing the inlet gas stream through a porous surface prior to addition to the interior of the disposable bioreactor.
- the sparging surface may be used as a cell separation device by alternating pressurization and depressurization (or application of vacuum) on the exterior surface of the porous surface, for example, or by a Bernoulli effect created by fast flow along one portion of the porous surface causing depressurization along other parts of the surface (e.g. fast flowing air in the center of a tube, exiting at one end of the tube, creating a vacuum along the length of the tube).
- a bioreactor system 100 may include one or more of the following: a disposable bioreactor 102, a temperature controller 106 and one or more sensor and/or probes 108.
- heating can be provided by means of closed loop water jacket heated and/or cooled by control system mounted on the bioreactor or by an electric heating blanket(s) 104, or Peltier heaters.
- the heat blanket may include a thermocouple(s) 104a for sensing a temperature of the contents of the bioreactor 102, working in conjunction with the temperature controller to control a set temperature of the contents of the bioreactor 102.
- a temperature conducting material may be embedded in the surface of the bag to overcome the insulating effect of plastic if necessary.
- the disposable bioreactor may comprise a plastic, flexible bag, but may also comprise a rigid material (e.g., plastic, metal, glass).

- Cooling may also be provided by a closed loop water jacket heated and/or cooled by control system mounted on the bioreactor or by standard heat exchange through a cover/jacket on the tank (the heat blanket may be included in a device for both heating/cooling but may also be separate from a cooling jacket). Cooling may also be provided by means of Peltier coolers. For example, a Peltier cooler may be applied to an exhaust line (e.g., to a chamber similar to a small bag, with a large volume to decelerate air and a large surface area) to condense gas in the exhaust air to help prevent an exhaust filter from wetting out. Air, oxygen and/or CO 2 gas (compressed or pumped) 118 may be included so as to provide sparging to the contents of the bioreactor.
- an exhaust line e.g., to a chamber similar to a small bag, with a large volume to decelerate air and a large surface area
- Air, oxygen and/or CO 2 gas (compressed or pumped) 118 may be included
- a filter 120, a fiowmeter 121, and/or valve 122 may be provided in-line, the latter of which may be controlled by a controller system 115, which, as illustrated, may be a PC.
- a controller system may include a combination of electronic, mechanical or pneumatic systems to control air, liquid and heat to the disposable bioreactor system.

- the terminal board may comprise a PCI terminal board, or a USB/parallel, or fireport (IEEE 394) terminal board connection.
- the disposable bioreactor preferably is supported by a support structure 101, which is shown as a tank (e.g., stainless steel), mounted atop a base 103, having a plurality of legs 105.
- the tank may be designed to include a height and diameter similar to standard stainless steel bioreactors.
- the design may also be scaleable down to small bench bioreactor volumes and up in excess of 1000L working volumes (for example).
- Baffles 800 (see Figs. 8A and 8B) may be built into the interior of the hard tank shell 802 to improve mixing by causing the bag to conform a shape that protrudes into the bioreactor bag, which preferably breaks up circular flow and/or prevents vortexing (for example).
- the tank may include a sight window 101a, which allows one to view a fluid level within the disposable bioreactor.
- the sight window may also be sized to allow one to see a large area of the bioreactor.
- the tank may also include sensor/probe ports 101b, an outlet 101c, to which discharge tubing lOld may be connected.
- connections e.g., tubes, valves, openings
- lOle for fluids, gases, and the like, to be added or withdrawn (e.g., intakes/exhausts) from the bioreactor, each of which may include a flow sensor 101 f and/or filter lOlg.
- a utility tower lOlh may be provided on or adjacent the tank, which may be used to house one or more pumps, controllers and electronics (e.g., the sensor electronics, electronics interfaces, pressurized gas controller, etc.).
- Sensors/probes and controls for monitor and controlling important process parameters include any one or more, and combinations of: temperature, pressure, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), dissolved carbon dioxide (pCO 2 ), mixing rate, and gas flow rate (for example).
- process control may be achieved in ways which do not compromise the sterile barrier established by the bioreactor.
- gas flow may be monitored and/or controlled by a rotameter or a mass flow meter upstream of an inlet air filter.
- Disposable optical probes may be designed to use "patches" of material containing an indicator dye which can be mounted on the inner surface of the disposable bioreactor bag and read through the wall of the bag via a window in the tank.
- dissolved oxygen (DO) and/or pH and or CO 2 each may be monitored and controlled by an optical patch and sensor mounted on a, gamma-irradiatable, biocompatabile polymer which, in turn sealed to, embedded in, or otherwise attached to the surface of the bag.
- Pressure may be monitored and controlled by standard pressure transducers upstream of an inlet air filter and downstream of an exhaust air filter.
- disposable pressure sensors can be used inside the sterile envelope of the disposable bioreactor, either by taking off the shelf devices (e.g. Utah Medical or Honeywell) or by creating a tee on the air inlet and/or exhaust line.
- the surface of the tee can also be covered with a membrane to maintain the sterile barrier, but manufactured so as to not impact pressure readings.
- a standard pressure transducer may then be fitted to the tee to measure and control pressure inside the sterile barrier.
- Fig. 2 illustrates an example of the disposable bioreactor 200 according to some embodiments of the invention.
- the bioreactor includes one or more ports 202 which may be used to add or withdraw gases and/or fluids from the bioreactor.
- a harvest or drainage port 204 is generally provided at the bottom of the bag so that gravity may be used to direct the contents out of the bioreactor.
- the probes and/or sensors 206 may be integral with a side of the bioreactor, such that the sensors and/or probes may be disposable as well.
- the sensors/probes may be optical probes which present the output in a visual manner.
- the sensor/probe ports 101b may be used to visually monitor the status of the sensor/probe.
- Integral with the bioreactor may be one portion of the mixing system.
- the portion of the mixing system included with the bioreactor may include one portion 208 of the mixing system - an impeller plate and impeller hub.
- the impeller plate connects to the drive system of the motor to power the impeller, and also provides a seal between the motor and the interior of the bioreactor.
- Some embodiments of the invention provide one or more exceptional mixing systems, which provides the system with an inexpensive method for providing agitation to the contents of the bioreactor.
- Such mixing systems may utilize materials such as HDPE (high-density polyethelene) and/or other gamma-irradiatable, biocompatable plastics.
- One or more components of the mixing system may be manufactured by machining blocks of material, but may also be molded and/or cast.
- the mixing system presents a magnetically driven impeller - thus, the motor is not directly connected to the impeller. Instead, magnets contained in a motor hub through magnetic attraction, drive magnets contained in an impeller hub. It is worth noting, that at least the motor portion (and other motor associated components), may be mounted on the support structure/tank dolly.
- the system generally includes an impeller plate 300 affixed to a side of the bioreactor wall 302, preferably at a lower portion thereof, an impeller hub 304, a motor 306, a motor shaft 308 and a motor hub 310.
- the impeller plate may be affixed to the wall of the bioreactor by heat welding together two halves of a two-piece impeller plate, and sandwiching the bioreactor wall therebetween or onto the wall.
- an opening in the wall of the bioreactor allows a central portion of the impeller plate to extend from an exterior of the bioreactor to the interior (or visa-versa).
- a sealing ring (not shown) could be adhered or the bioreactor heat welded directly to an outer circumference of the impeller plate to seal the bioreactor wall therebetween.
- Still one other alternative may be an undersized opening in the wall of the bioreactor which forms a seal with an circumferencial edge of the impeller plate which is slightly larger than the opening.
- One important feature according to one embodiment of the invention is directed to the inclusion of one or more porous, micro-porous, or ultrafiltration elements 301 in the impeller plate.
- the element may be used to allow a gaseous sparge or fluids into and out of the bioreactor.
- Such sparging and/or fluid addition or removal may be used in conjunction with the mixing system (i.e., the rotation of the impeller hub).
- Sparging is the use of a mixing force (typically air) near the bottom of the reactor.
- the rising gas bubbles and the lower density of gas-saturated liquid rise, displacing gas-poor liquid which falls, providing top-to- bottom circulation.
- the path of rising liquid can be guided by means of dividers inside the chamber of the bag, or via baffles (see above).
- such a bag may include a sheet of plastic bisecting the chamber of the bag vertically with a gap at the top and bottom. Gas may be added on one side only, of this divider, causing the gas and gas-rich liquid to rise on one side, cross over the top of the barrier, and descend on the other side, passing under the divider to return to the gas-addition point.
- a high shear zone beneath the rotating impeller affords increased performance features of the system.
- the shear zone may be used to perform a variety of purposes, gas sparging; fluid withdrawal from the vessel; solid/liquid or cell culture separations (e.g., any particulate separation in which solids are retained in the bioreactor and fluid filtrate is removed) - examples include semi- or continuous perfusion culture, cell separations, resin separation, etc.; and product or solute concentration or buffer exchange in the application that the porous element is in the ultra- filtration range.
- the interior side of the impeller plate may include a post 312 to which a central opening in the impeller hub 304 receives.
- the impeller hub is preferably maintained a slight distance above the surface of the impeller plate to prevent friction therebetween.
- Low friction materials may be used in the manufacture of the impeller hub to minimize friction between the impeller hub and the post; alternatively, a bearing 311 may be included to reduce friction.
- the impeller hub also preferably includes at least one magnet 314, and preferably more than one, which is preferably positioned at a periphery of the hub and preferably corresponding to a position of a magnet(s) 316 provided on the motor hub 310.
- the impeller hub also includes one or more and preferably a plurality of impeller blades 318. It is also worth noting that the embedded magnet(s) in the impeller can remove ferrous or magnetic particles from solutions, slurries or powders.
- the motor hub 310 is generally centrally mounted on a shaft 308 of motor 306.
- the motor hub may also include a lazy-susan bearing 322 so as to prevent friction between the motor hub and the impeller plate, although, alternatively (or in addition thereto), low friction materials may be used to reduce friction (e.g., low friction plastics).
- the lazy-susan bearing also contributes to the minimization of the gap between the motor hub and the impeller plate. Although the thinnest impeller plate thickness is desired, it sometimes cannot be achieved. As tank scale increases, hydrostatic pressure on the inside of the tank and impeller plate increases, which may result in downward deflection/deformation of the impeller plate and central post. If deformation is not prevented, the impeller hub may bottom out on the impeller plate and create drag, thus reducing coupling forces and causing friction.
- the lazy-susan bearing mounted in the center of the motor hub may support the underside of the impeller plate to help aid in preventing deflection of the impeller plate from hydrostatic pressure. Accordingly, this feature ensures proper impeller operation in large scale applications and permits use of a very thin impeller plate thickness, while maximizing torque transmission.
- the strength of the torque transmission from the motor hub to the impeller hub via the magnetic coupling may be determined by one or more of the following: the width of the gap between the two hubs, collectively comprises of the thickness of the impeller plate and the combined width of the two gaps between the impeller hub and the plate, and the motor hub and the plate; avoidance or elimination of any interfering ferrous or magnetic substances in the motor hub, impeller plate or the impeller hub (this is achieved in some embodiments of the present invention by manufacturing the one or more or all components of the mixing systems from plastic, for example); the number of magnets; the magnetic force of the magnets; the number of concentric rings of magnets; and the distance of magnets from the center of the hubs.
- the gap between the two hubs is preferably adjustable between about 0.001 inch to 0.750 inch, and more preferably, between about 0.125" and about 0.500 inches.
- the number of magnets used may be one, but is preferably between about 2-50, and most preferably between about 3 and 10 magnets, with such magnets having a magnetic force of between about 1-100 million Gauss Oersted (MGOe), and most preferably between about 20- 50 million MGOe.
- the type of magnets which are used are a grade of neodymium magnet.
- the grade of neodymium is N38, which includes a maximum energy product of 38 MGOe.
- the number of concentric rings of magnets may range from 1-4, with the distance from the hub of the rings of magnets being between about 0.250 inches to about 16 inches, and most preferably between about 0.500 inches and 12 inches.
- Fig. 4 illustrates an alternate embodiment to the mixing system, related to a mechanically driven impeller.
- this embodiment generally includes an impeller plate 400, an impeller hub 404 with shaft 405, an external motor 406 with shaft 408.
- the connection of shafts between the impeller hub shaft and the motor shaft may be accomplished in an matter familiar to one of ordinary skill in the art (e.g., gear box, hex drive, and the like).
- the impeller plate is preferably affixed to a side of the bioreactor wall 402 at a lower portion thereof.
- the impeller plate may be affixed to the wall of the bioreactor by any of the methods recited for the embodiment of Fig. 3.
- the porous, micro-porous, or ultrafiltration elements 401 may also be included in the present embodiment to allow gaseous sparge or fluids into and out of the bioreactor.
- the shaft of the impeller hub may be received in a seal 412 (which may also include a bearing) centrally located in the impeller plate. The seal insures that the contents of the bioreactor are not contaminated.
- the impeller hub is preferably maintained a slight distance above the surface of the impeller plate to prevent friction therebetween.
- the impeller hub also includes one or more and preferably a plurality of impeller blades 418.
- a bubble column or airlift system (utilizing bubbles of air/gas 701) is used with the disposable bioreactor bag - which provides for a mixing force by the addition of gas (e.g., air) near the bottom of the reactor.
- gas e.g., air
- Such embodiments may include a bubble column 700, an air-lift fermenter 702 with internal draft tube 703 and an air-lift fermenter 704 with external draft tube 705 (the direction of the bubbles may correspond to the direction of the arrows).
- the rising gas bubble and the lower density of gas-saturated liquid rise, displacing gas-poor liquid which falls, providing top-to-bottom circulation.
- the path of rising liquid can be guided by means of dividers inside the chamber of the bag. For example, using a sheet of plastic which bisects the interior of the bioreactor bag, preferably vertically, with a gap at the top and the bottom. Gas may be added on one side of the divider, causing the gas and gas-rich liquid to rise on one side, cross over the top of the barrier sheet, and descend on the other side, passing under the divider to return to the gas-addition point. It is worth noting that the bubble column/air-lift mixing system and method may be combined with either impeller based mixing system described above.
- variable-pitch impeller blades may comprise deformable blades or impeller blades which swivel.
- an impeller hub 500 may include a deformable, variable-pitch blade 502, which is in a substantially reclined position when the impeller hub is stationary (or at a small angle 503 to the top and/or bottom surface of the impeller hub), and which is inclined at angle 504 to the top and/or bottom surface of the impeller hub when the impeller hub is rotated.
- the angle the blade forms with the impeller hub may depend upon the rotational velocity of the impeller hub; thus, the faster the impeller hub rotates, the more inclined the blade is to the top and/or bottom surface of the impeller hub.
- a material used in the manufacture of the impeller blades having flexible properties may be used (according to one embodiment) to provide the above-noted functionality.
- Such flexible materials e.g., plastic, engineered plastic
- the pitch of the impeller blade 602 relative to the top and/or bottom surface of the impeller hub 600 may be obtained by manually rotating the blade relative to the impeller hub. This may be accomplished by manufacturing the impeller hub with respective openings to receive a pivoting shaft of each blade. The shaft may be slightly oversized relative to the size of the respective opening in the impeller hub.
- impeller hubs having a set, predetermined blade pitch may be manufactured and included with in a bioreactor.
- bioreactor bags having particular set- pitch impeller blades may be separately manufactured and available for a particular application.
- the mixing systems described above allow the system to mix fluids or solids of any type.
- fluids inside the bioreactor may be mixed to provide distribution of nutrients and dissolved gasses for cell growth applications.
- the same disposable vessel may be used for mixing buffers and media or other solutions in which a disposable product contact surface is desirable. This may also include applications in which the vessel is not required to be sterile or maintain sterility.
- the present system enables the tank holding the fluids/mixtures/gases to be removed and discarded such that the tank is not soiled by the fluids that are mixed in the bioreactor bag. Thus, the tank need not to be cleaned or sterilized after every use.
