A clarification setup of a bioprocessing installation wherein, for the centrifugation, the clarification setup comprises a centrifuge, wherein the centrifuge comprises at least one centrifuge chamber with a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet, wherein the clarification setup comprises a liquid pumping arrangement assigned to the centrifuge and a liquid network with a number of liquid lines communicating with the liquid pumping arrangement, wherein the clarification setup comprises a process control for controlling the centrifuge and the liquid pumping arrangement. For filtration, the clarification setup comprises a filter arrangement, that the liquid network provides an outlet supernatant line for a liquid connection between the chamber outlet and the filter arrangement, which is at least temporarily liquid-tight, such that due to this liquid-tight condition of the outlet supernatant line the liquid pumping arrangement as such may drive the supernatant from the chamber outlet to the filter arrangement.
