Stirred-Tank Bioreactors / Fermentors

Bioreactors and fermentors simulate a natural biochemical environment for the optimum growth of cells or tissues in culture. Bioreactor types range from small, <1-L benchtop units to 10,000-L systems for large-scale industrial applications, and can be batch type or continuous flow, in which materials constantly flow through the unit. Tight control over parameters such as temperature, moisture, pH, oxygen, and stirring rate will produce the most satisfactory results—namely, maximized cell growth and productivity. Single-use, autoclavable, or in situ sterilizable options for process development and production are offered, as well as adapter kits that allow existing controllers to be used with single-use vessels. Additional features to consider include: integrated pumps, multiparameter controls, touchscreen interface, flexible modular options, multiple gas mixing, thermal flow control, and advanced process management features for research or GMP manufacturing.
