Devices, methods and systems for collecting waste from a bioreactor

The invention relates to devices, methods and systems for collecting and solidifying waste material from bioreactor cell cultures in order to facilitate waste disposal. The invention finds particular utility in mammalian cell culture applications. A transverse wall divides the interior of a waste bag into two chambers, the first chamber containing an inlet receiving waste liquid from a bioreactor, the second chamber containing an absorbent material to solidify the liquid into a gel. The transverse wall acts to direct the flow of waste media into the second chamber where it is converted into a gel and further prevents the inlet from being blocked by any gel or particulate materials. Methods and uses regarding this invention are described. 本发明涉及用于收集和凝固来自生物反应器细胞培养物的废物材料以便于废物处置的装置、方法及系统。本发明在哺乳动物细胞培养应用中得到了具体实用。横向壁将废物袋的内部分成两个室，第室含有从生物反应器接收废物液体的入口，第二室含有将液体凝固成凝胶的吸收性材料。横向壁用于将废物介质流引导到第二室中，在那里，其转化成凝胶，且横向壁还防止入口由任何凝胶或颗粒材料阻塞。描述了关于本发明的方法和使用。
