Pumps and other hardware to complete a perfusion set-up<br />

The harvest pump is a variable speed pump. The pump is stopped (remotely) by the<br />

<strong>BioSep</strong> controller during field off times, facilitating the settling of aggregates. This means<br />

that the harvest flow is stopped for a few seconds, arresting the flow in the chamber.<br />

The stop time of a few seconds will affect the overall harvest flow rate by a small<br />

amount. This pump can be controlled directly by a connecting cable between the <strong>BioSep</strong><br />

controller and the pump.<br />

In cultures of sticky cells or too large aggregates, the variable speed pump with prime<br />

rate reverse action (code Z288010020) is a recommended option.The pump has the<br />

capability to reverse the harvest flow at full pump speed (prime), during field off time.<br />

Sticky cells can adhere to the glass of the resonator chamber. By reversing the flow at<br />

full speed during field off times (for 3 sec) these cells will get a small push back into the<br />

bioreactor. Reversing the flow every 10 min will result in less adherence of cells in the<br />

<strong>BioSep</strong> chamber.<br />

A typical <strong>BioSep</strong> set-up<br />

<strong>BioSep</strong> 10L: • holder to fit resonance chamber into the headplate<br />

• suction tube for recirculation loop<br />

• recirculation pump<br />

• harvest pump (variable speed / remote controlled)<br />

• fresh medium inlet and pump (e.g. controlled via level controller)<br />

<strong>BioSep</strong> 50L: • diptube for return of cells from chamber. (The diptube should be<br />

provided with the proper headplate connector and a 0.5” TC to install<br />

the resonance chamber).<br />

• suction tube for recirculation loop<br />

• recirculation pump<br />

• harvest pump (variable speed / remote controlled)<br />

• fresh medium inlet and pump (e.g. controlled via level controller)<br />

Various adapters are available to fit the <strong>BioSep</strong> 50L to any type or brand of bioreactor.<br />
