Mobius® 3L Single-use BioreactorEliminate the need to clean, autoclave and assemble your traditional glass bioreactors and save days of downtime with the Mobius® 3L Single-use Bioreactor.Dowiedz się więcej >> |
The benchtop Cellicon™ Perfusion Solution is designed to meet your perfused seed train challenges. It consists of a controller and a flat sheet cell retention filter running in tangential flow filtration mode part of a single-use assembly. This easy-to-use solution increases perfusion process efficiency and provides real-time monitoring and control for reliable and consistent performance.
Perfusion operations deliver high-density cell cultures that alleviate the burden of processing large production bioreactor volumes while increasing manufacturing flexibility. Introducing perfusion to your seed train makes it possible to inoculate a higher quantity of cells for one or more production bioreactors, thus increasing process efficiency.
The filter assembly is supplied gamma-irradiated and dry (preservative-free), eliminating the need for flushing. The controller’s touchscreen interface is easy to use. The P&ID screen monitors all active parameters and the data display provides real-time process monitoring at a glance.
Benefits
- High throughput and low fouling
- Predictable linear scale up from lab to manufacturing scale
- Reliable and reproducible performance
- Low crossflow and cell shear
- Comprehensive monitoring and precise control
- Ready to process in minutes
Membrane
A trusted name in the industry, our Durapore® hydrophilic PVDF 5.0 µm microfiltration membrane is ideally suited for achieving maximum cell retention while minimizing fouling. Durapore® membrane is low protein binding and has low extractables, low shedding, and broad chemical compatibility. It is tough and proven.
Applications
- Monoclonal antibodies
- Recombinant proteins
The Emprove® Program- your fast track through regulatory challenges
Complementing our product portfolio, the Emprove® Program provides three types of dossiers to support different stages of development and manufacturing operations such as qualification, risk assessment and process optimization. The dossiers combine comprehensive product-specific testing data, quality statements and regulatory information in a readily available format to simplify your compliance needs.
