Perfusion module for a bioreactor, and system comprising a perfusion module and a bioreactor

Abstract

The invention relates to a perfusion module (100, 400, 600, 900) for a bioreactor, comprising a main body (102, 402, 602, 902) having a fluid passage (110, 410, 610, 910) and a recess (112, 412, 612, 912) inclined toward said fluid passage (110, 410, 610, 910), a flow-permeable flow guidance element (104, 404, 604, 904), a filter element (106, 406, 606, 906), and at least one fastening element (108, 408, 608, 908), wherein the at least one fastening element (108, 408, 608, 908) is designed to fasten the filter element (106, 406, 606, 906) to the flow guidance element (104, 404, 604, 904), wherein, when the perfusion module (100, 400, 600, 900) is in an assembled condition, the flow guidance element (104, 404, 604, 904) is located between the main body (102, 402, 602, 902) and the filter element (106, 406, 606, 906), and the recess (112, 412, 612, 912) of the main body (102, 402, 602, 902) and the flow guidance element (104, 404, 604, 904) together form a cavity (200, 500, 700, 1000) that is connected to the fluid passage (110, 410, 610, 910) and to the flow guidance element (104, 404, 604, 904) such as to be flow-permeable.
