Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biocontainer membranes, and in particular to a disposable biocontainer membrane. Background Art

[0002] Disposable bioreactors have been gradually applied since the late 1990s and have become an important part of the biopharmaceutical field. This type of reactor is widely used in microbial culture and cell culture processes at experimental, clinical sample preparation, pilot scale and production scale. With the advancement of technology, disposable biological containers, such as disposable bioreactor bags, liquid storage bags, liquid preparation bags and feeding bags, have been widely used in biopharmaceuticals, especially in discontinuous or continuous culture processes. Compared with traditional stainless steel reactors, disposable bioreactors have obvious advantages in avoiding cleaning and sterilization validation and reducing the risk of cross contamination. However, despite the significant progress in the application of disposable bioreactors, biofilm technology is still a bottleneck in its development. As the core component of the reactor, the biofilm plays a vital role in ensuring the performance of the reactor.

[0003] High-quality biofilms need to meet a series of strict performance requirements, such as excellent barrier properties, solvent resistance, mechanical strength, peel strength and biocompatibility. For example, high barrier properties are one of the most basic and important properties of disposable biofilms, which can prevent external pollutants, oxygen and liquids from penetrating into the reactor, and prevent the contents in the reactor from leaking out, ensuring the stability of the culture in the reactor; specifically, it needs to meet the standard conditions of 23°C and 65% relative humidity, and the oxygen permeability should be <5m1 / m 2 ·Day or less, water vapor transmission <2g / m 2 ·d; During use, the reactor may experience environmental changes such as temperature changes, humidity fluctuations, and contact with chemical solvents or culture media. The peel strength directly affects the quality of the contents in the reactor. The delaminated biofilm is easily eroded, causing the contents to deteriorate faster. Therefore, a biofilm with a higher peel strength can better ensure the stability of the reactor during the entire use process in the face of these environmental changes. In addition, in order to control the thickness and uniformity of the membrane or enhance the adhesion between layers, some biofilms will add solvents to dissolve the resin during the production process; however, if the solvent residues are not completely removed, it may lead to an increase in the dissolution, which in turn affects the safety and stability of the contents. At present, biofilm products on the market mainly rely on imports and are expensive, resulting in higher usage costs for domestic users. Therefore, it is still a very challenging task to develop biofilms that meet strict technical requirements. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in multiple embodiments of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1 A disposable biocontainer film 1 has eleven co-extruded films, which are layer 1 11, layer 2 12, layer 3 13, layer 4 14, layer 5 15, layer 6 16, layer 7 17, layer 8 18, layer 9 19, layer 10 20 and layer 11 21, respectively. These films can be combined to form at least three types of layers, including (but not limited to) an outer layer, an inner layer and a barrier layer between the outer layer and the inner layer; the outer layer is used as the outer surface of the disposable biocontainer film 1, and the inner layer is used as the inner surface of the disposable biocontainer film 1.

[0022] In the film structure with a total of eleven layers, the outer layer includes at least 3 to 5 layers of linear low-density polyethylene resin layers and / or low-density polyethylene resin layers in order to effectively resist physical damage during transportation and use, and the thickness of the outer layer is controlled at 105 to 115 µm; preferably, the outer layer includes 4 layers of linear low-density polyethylene resin layers and / or low-density polyethylene resin layers, namely, layer one 11, layer two 12, layer three 13 and layer four 14.

[0023] In the film structure with a total of eleven layers, the inner layer includes at least 3 to 5 layers of ultra-low density polyethylene resin layers in order to reduce the index of dissolution in the liquid phase material, and the thickness of the inner layer is controlled at 135 to 140 µm; preferably, the inner layer includes 4 layers of ultra-low density polyethylene resin layers, namely, layer eight 18, layer nine 19, layer ten 20 and layer eleven 21.

[0024] In the film structure with a total of eleven layers, in order to improve the barrier properties to water and gas, the barrier layer includes at least one layer of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, and the thickness of the barrier layer is controlled at 28~32µm; preferably, in order to better utilize the protective properties of the outer layer and the functions of the inner layer, the barrier layer is arranged in the middle position of the raw container film, that is, layer six 16.

[0025] In the film structure with a total of eleven layers, in order to reduce the dissolution amount of the film and further control the dissolution index, no solvent is used to dissolve the resin between the layers; and in order to enable the polar ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer layer to be combined with the non-polar polyethylene layer, an adhesive layer one and an adhesive layer two are respectively arranged between the barrier layer and the outer layer and the inner layer, that is, layer five 15 and layer seven 17 respectively, and the thickness of the adhesive layer one and the adhesive layer two is controlled at 15~17µm.

[0026] The present invention has no particular restrictions on the materials of the first and second adhesive layers, but preferably a modified low-density polyethylene adhesive resin is used. In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, in the film structure with a total of eleven layers, a structural layer may be provided between the barrier layer and the inner layer or the outer layer to improve the tear resistance, toughness or low temperature resistance of the film.

[0027] On the basis of satisfying that the thickness of the outer layer is controlled within the range of 105-115µm, the outer layer includes 4 layers of linear low-density polyethylene resin layers and / or low-density polyethylene resin layers, which means that the outer layer can be 4 layers of linear low-density polyethylene resin layers, or 4 layers of low-density polyethylene resin layers, or a combination of linear low-density polyethylene resin layers and low-density polyethylene resin layers, for example, 1 layer of linear low-density polyethylene resin layer is combined with 3 layers of low-density polyethylene resin layers.

[0028] In the film structure of eleven layers in total, when the outer layer includes four layers, the thickness of the four layers is controlled to be 28-32µm, 21-25µm, 42-46µm, and 12-14µm, respectively; when the inner layer includes four layers, the thickness of the four layers is controlled to be 11-13µm, 46-50µm, 46-50µm, and 28-32µm, respectively. In particular, the thickness of the non-polar polyethylene resin layer (i.e., layer four 14 and layer eight 18) in contact with the adhesive layer is close to or slightly less than the thickness of the corresponding adhesive layer (i.e., layer five 15 and layer seven 17), so as to improve the interfacial bonding strength between the films and reduce the risk of interlayer delamination caused by temperature changes (such as low temperature) or mechanical stress.

[0029] It should be noted that the above-mentioned linear low-density polyethylene resin layer, low-density polyethylene resin layer, ultra-low-density polyethylene resin layer, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer layer and modified low-density polyethylene adhesive resin layer only refer to the linear low-density polyethylene resin, low-density polyethylene resin, ultra-low-density polyethylene resin, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and modified low-density polyethylene adhesive resin as the main materials of the corresponding film layers in these film layers, for example, accounting for more than 80wt% or 90wt% or 99wt%, but does not exclude the presence of other ingredients. For example, they are used together with other resins or fillers to improve certain properties of the film, such as toughness, puncture resistance, etc.
