Laboratory bioreactor SB10-X

for cell culturesingle-usewith orbital shaker

The SB10-X is an orbital shaken benchtop bioreactor system for the cultivation of human, mammalian and plant cells in a single-use bag. It consists of six modules (excluding the bag) and has a working volume from 4 litres up to 12 litres. The SB10-X can be used in research, process development or as a pilot scale bioreactor. Performance characteristics Cultivation of human, mammalian and plant cells Fast, simple set up Easy scale-up Online measurement and control of pH and DO Three different types of single-use bags available Bag Single-use bag for a fast and simple set up The cylindrical vessel accepts a single-use 3D bag. This bag requires no additional mixing device, enables quick set up times and eliminates elaborate cleaning and sterilising procedures. Various ports are incorporated to allow feeding, inoculation, harvesting and sampling. The standard bag has built-in optical sensors for pH/DO allowing online measurement and control of pH and DO in the medium. Two other bag types are available: a basic single-use bag with no optical sensors and a perfusion bag for ATF and TFF perfusion. Orbital motion Orbital motion The orbital motion of the SB10-X ensures efficient liquid mixing. It facilitates high oxygen transfer rates with low shear forces. Mechanical stress on the cells is reduced thanks to bubble-free surface gassing with almost no frothing. This motion is particularly suitable for microcarrier cultivation. The SB10-X uses the unique Kuhner direct drive which is very robust and provides accurate control of the orbital speed.
