Title: Tuomo Frigård and Bioreactor Sampling Innovation.

Introduction

Tuomo Frigård is an inventor associated with Uppsala, Sweden, and Cytiva Sweden AB. His patent work addresses fluid handling and sampling in bioreactor systems.

Latest Patents

Frigård is associated with 1 patent: “Fluid coupling network for sampling a bioreactor.” The invention describes a computer-implemented method for controlling a fluid coupling network that can connect a bioreactor with gas and buffer sources, a waste port, a processing system, and a conduit reservoir. A barrier unit separates fluid paths to maintain sterile conditions.

The method directs fluid from the bioreactor through the network to fill the conduit reservoir, then supplies a sample from the reservoir to a processing system. It also describes returning residual sample to the bioreactor by directing gas through a separated part of the fluid coupling network.

Career Highlights

Frigård’s listed patent reflects work on automated bioreactor sampling, sterile fluid-path separation, and the controlled movement of samples between a bioreactor and processing equipment. He is associated with Cytiva Sweden AB.

Collaborations

The provided information lists Camilla Estmer Nilsson and Patricia Roch as Frigård’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or their contributions to the invention.

Conclusion

Tuomo Frigård’s patent focuses on a controlled, sterile fluid coupling network for collecting, processing, and returning bioreactor samples.
