A multiport device for connecting a loop, preferably a tangential flow
filtration loop or a sensor loop, to one port of a
bioreactor, preferably a single-use
bioreactor, is configured to be fixed to the port of the
bioreactor. The multiport device includes a first flow path configured for withdrawing fluid from the bioreactor, and a second flow path configured for supplying fluid to the bioreactor. The first flow path has a first end adapted to be in fluid connection with the bioreactor, and a second end adapted to be connected to an inlet of the loop. The second flow path has an outer end adapted to be connected to an outlet of the loop, and a mouth adapted to be in fluid connection with the bioreactor. The mouth of the second flow path is distanced from the first end of the first flow path by at least 5 mm, preferably 10 mm.
