A filter element for a fuel filter has first and second end plates and a particle filter medium arranged between the first and second end plates. A bayonet protrusion on the first end plate is designed to engage a bayonet receptacle of the filter housing by rotation of the filter element about a filter element longitudinal axis. An internal sealing element on the second end plate is designed to separate a raw side from a water collecting chamber of the fuel filter. The filter housing has a filter housing body and a cover screwed onto the filter housing body. The filter housing has a bayonet receptacle arranged on its inner side. By rotating the filter element about a filter element longitudinal axis of the filter element, the bayonet protrusion engages the bayonet receptacle of the filter housing when the cover is unscrewed from the filter housing body.

A filter element is provided with a filter medium and a first end disk connected to the filter medium. A first bayonet protrusion is disposed on the first end disk and designed to engage behind a first bayonet receptacle of a filter housing of a filter. The first bayonet protrusion has a free end. The first bayonet protrusion projects at least over sections thereof in a radial direction relative to a filter element longitudinal axis of the filter element past the filter medium. The free end projects in the radial direction toward the filter element longitudinal axis. A filter with a filter housing provided with a first bayonet receptacle is provided and the filter element is arranged in the filter housing such that the first bayonet protrusion on the first end disk engages behind the first bayonet receptacle of the filter housing.

A filter cartridge includes a threaded sleeve having a seal holder recess and seal member. The filter cartridge is for removably threading onto a filter head that includes threads for connection to the filter cartridge by way of the threaded sleeve. The filter head includes a ramp that engages the seal member to form a seal. The force needed to make the seal is a torque of less than 10 N-m.

A filter arrangement including a host filter and a prefiltration filter element, a filter device including the filter arrangement, and a method of processing fluid by passing it through the filter arrangement, are disclosed.

Systems and methods for containing and manipulating liquids, including vessels and unit operations or components of cell culture, cell containment, bioreactor, and/or pharmaceutical manufacturing systems, are provided. In certain embodiments, such vessels and unit operations are directed to continuous perfusion reactor or bioreactor systems and may include one or more disposable components. For instance, in one aspect, a system includes an apparatus in the form of a bioreactor for harvesting cells which produce one or more products. The apparatus may include a disposable, collapsible bag adapted for containing a liquid, the collapsible bag in fluid communication with a liquid-solids (e.g., cell) separation device. For example, an outlet of the collapsible bag may be connected to an inlet of the separation device, and an outlet of the separation device may be connected to an inlet of the collapsible bag for recycle. Accordingly, after separating the cells from the liquid in the separation device, the cells can be flowed back into the collapsible bag where they can be re-harvested. Meanwhile, product contained in the liquid can be collected in a separate container. The efficiency of product formation in such a system may be enhanced by using mixing systems described herein.
