Parallel plate devices for hemofiltration or hemodialysis are provided. A parallel plate device includes a parallel plate assembly having an aligned stack of stackable plate subunits, each stackable plate subunit having a through channel for blood, where the blood channels are opened up at opposite ends of the parallel plate assembly. The parallel plate assembly is configured to form filtrate/dialysate channels interleaved with the blood channels, adjacent channels being separated by a silicon nanoporous filtration membrane. A blood conduit adaptor is attached to the parallel plate assembly at each of the ends, and is configured to distribute blood to or collect blood from the blood channels. Also provided are systems and methods for using the parallel plate devices.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for filtration and/or dilution of fluids, in particular for the dialysis of blood. The systems comprise a filter device (10) having a fluid chamber (18) and comprising a first lid (20) having arranged thereon a first fluid port (22). The filter device (10) further comprises a second lid (30) having arranged thereon at least a second fluid port (32). The filter device (10) further comprises a plurality of hollow fibers (40) arranged within the housing (12), wherein each of the plurality of hollow fibers (40) comprises a semi-permeable membrane and defines a fluid channel extending longitudinally through an interior of the respective hollow fiber (40). Also, the filter device (10) comprises a fourth fluid port (50) and a fifth fluid port (52) both provided at the fluid chamber (18).

Transfer sets with filters, including transfer sets with filters for peritoneal dialysis (PD) systems, and associated systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a transfer set includes a first connector configured to be coupled to a disposable set of a PD system, a second connector configured to be coupled to a catheter of the PD system, and a fluid channel extending between the first connector and the second connector. The transfer set further includes a filter positioned within the fluid channel and configured to filter contaminants from solution flowing within the fluid channel between the first connector and the second connector. In some embodiments, the transfer set further includes a one-way valve positioned between the filter and the second connector and configured to prevent fluid from flowing through the one-way valve in a direction toward the filter.

The present invention is directed to a method of producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The method includes subjecting a reaction mixture with an API precursor to solvent extraction to produce a reactant stream with the API precursor. The method includes concentrating the API precursor in the reactant stream using at least one membrane. The method includes carrying out a reaction in a membrane reactor. The method includes separating the API precursor from the reaction stream using a separator. The method includes crystallizing the API precursor using a crystallizer to produce APIs.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for removing carbon dioxide from a target fluid, such as, for example, blood, to treat hypercarbic respiratory failure or another condition. A device is provided including first and second membrane components for removing dissolved gaseous carbon dioxide and bicarbonate from the fluid, which can be done simultaneously. The device can be in the form of a cartridge configured for use in a dialysis system. A method of treatment is also provided, involving drawing blood from a patient and bringing the patient’s blood in contact with a first membrane component having a sweep gas passing therethrough, and a second membrane component having a dialysate passing therethrough. The dialysate’s composition can be selected such that charge neutrality is maintained.

A multiple well device for processing fluid samples is provided, comprising a plate including a plurality of wells, each well including a first sub-well and a second sub-well, separated by an individual dialysis membrane; each individual dialysis membrane having a top end and a bottom end, having a continuous taper from the top end to the bottom end, each first sub-well and each second sub-well having an upper end and a lower end, and side walls, wherein one side wall is a common side wall shared by the first sub-well and the second sub-well, the common side wall having a continuous tapered cut-out with the individual dialysis membrane fluid-tightly sealed in the continuous tapered cut-out.
