Clio O-SUP keep the HHF clean as to selectable fluid velocities
Clio is a OneWay fluid pump and part of CellMembra perfusion concept. Build for super controlled operation by the advanced Clotho (or Lachesis) Drive Units. Clotho measures via the LASER accurately in real-time the free-flowing diaphragm position. Allowing Clotho programming the desired volume to convey and at desired fluid velocity. The result is an Air-Operated-Diaphragm-positive-Displacement (AODPD) OneWay-Single-Use-Pump (O-SUP) with un-parallel performance.

The smallest diaphragm O-SUP is the Clio V30 which has been in production for years connected to the bioBLU 0.3 CellMembra 300 P-SUB. Requirements for all SUPs for optimal operation are 2-3 Bar pneumatic air pressure and vacuum lower than 50 mBar absolute.
Clio technical / functionality
- The diaphragm OneWay-Single-Use-Pump (O-SUP) integrates two passive OneWay valves guiding the direction of fluid. The valve body receives broth from the SUB and deliver broth to the Hollow-Fiber-Filter (HFF) feed inlet after which the broth passes axially the HFF and exit as retentate to be returned to the SUB
- Clio O-SUP integrates in between the SUB and the HFF
- Clio feature the re-usable (red) LASER sensor reading diaphragm position through the transparent dome window = know position = optimum position programming
- The high precision LASER sensor measures the position of the diaphragm, so broth velocity and volume calculation can be performed, repeated and presented on the Clotho display in real-time
- Clio both pump and measures conveyed volume ranging within its spec and from 0 to +10 m/s velocity through the HFF

Unique user features:
- Clio keep the HFF - Hollow-Fibre-Filter - clean from fouling issues maximizes process time
- Clio handle fluids = liquids and / or gases or any mix of liquid/gas
- Clio is a true metering feed pump = Positive Displacement (PD) pump = accurate mass-flow measured constantly
- Clio pump do NOT need a mass-flow sensor measuring the mass-flow
- Clio easily sucks fluids from low arranged containers
- Clio is a low shear force, gentle design which do not damage mammalian cells
- Clio pump do NOT need calibration like peristaltic pumps
- Clio pump do NOT loose nano size silicone particles to the fluid like peristaltic pumps
The basics in operation is copied from the human heart functionality
- Cardiac Output (CO) = total pumped volume, SUP capacity, mL/min (CO = BpM x SV)
- Beats-per-Minute (BpM) = ranging 0 - 30 BpM, SUP diameter/stroke volume depending
- Stroke Volume (SV) = programable from 0 - 100% of SUP capacity
Physical features:
- No expensive housing materials for traditional steam cleaning requirements
- No mechanical rotating parts such as electrical motor, coupling, rollers or gearing
- No moving ball valves, but simple stationary passive silicone valves
- All single-use medical grade plastic parts supplied irradiated – contamination not possible
- All pumps offer infinite turn-down, turn-up scale better than 1:5.000
