Quick design of sterile and disposable fluid processing systems

GE Healthcare’s on-line ReadyToProcess Konfigurator is a product selection and quotation tool that enables quick and easy selection and order of standard off-the-shelf, as well as custom designed, ReadyCircuit assemblies.

ReadyToProcess equipment provides ready-to-use tools for all process stages in the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, including cell culture and fermentation, chromatography, and filtration.

Customers can design their fluid management circuits and systems in minutes by entering the parameters of their process, from which the Konfigurator will generate the preferred design.

The Konfigurator’s rapid and convenient output includes Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) drawings and a Bill of Materials (BOM) to enable product ordering. The self-designed ReadyCircuit assemblies can include normal flow and cross flow filtration capabilities, sensor technology and can be designed to suit up to 200L liquid volumes. The Konfigurator removes labour intensive manual design, helps in selecting and ordering the right single-use equipment, and provides related budgetary quotations.
