Abstract
A valve block for single use in a bioprocess, having a plurality of valve units and a one-piece block body having a main conduit. Each valve unit includes a secondary conduit, a valve seat between the secondary conduit and the main conduit, a closure part having a gripping portion, and an actuator coupled to the gripping portion which can transfer the closure part from a first switching position, in which the closure part is pressed against the valve seat and blocks a fluid communication between the secondary conduit and the main conduit, to a second switching position, in which the closure part is lifted from the valve seat and unblocks the fluid communication between the secondary conduit and the main conduit. The gripping portion is sealed against both the main conduit and the secondary conduit in both switching positions of the valve unit.
