DHX™ Heat Exchanger

The Thermo Scientific™ DHX™ Heat Exchanger is a modular heat exchanger system that uses up to four single-use Thermo Scientific™ BioProcess Containers (BPCs) as the sterile fluid path. The BPCs fit tightly between five stainless steel plates, efficiently transferring heat in a counter-current flow path. The DHX Heat Exchanger provides efficient, sterile heat transfer that easily integrates into any process.

Features

• Completely isolated flow paths for process and heat transfer fluid
• Counter-current, serpentine flow patterns
• Dimpled jacketing on the plates, providing turbulent flow
• BPCs that fill in place with no operator interaction
• Modular design and small overall footprint that allows for changing process needs
• Reduced infrastructure requirements
• Reduced processing time
• Improved product consistency

Applications

• cGMP commercial and clinical biotherapeutics, vaccines, and other biologic processes
• Upstream applications, including media hold, harvest cooling, and harvest hold
• Downstream applications, including buffers, protein purification, and bulk drug substance
