Abstract

The invention discloses a first unit (1) for treatment of a bioprocess liquid comprising a first lateral face (2), a second lateral face (3) and a front face (4) which meets the two said lateral faces. The front face comprises: a plurality of valves (7) adapted to receive and act upon one or more legs (8) of a disposable flow path (6); optionally one or more pumps (10) adapted to receive and act upon one or more legs of the disposable flow path; optionally one or more sensors (11) adapted to receive and to measure one or more parameters in one or more legs of the disposable flow path; wherein the plurality of valves and optional pumps and sensors are vertically offset from each other to give one or more legs of a disposable flow path received by said valves and optional pumps and sensors a slope of at least 3.0 degrees from the horizontal plane (h).
