Orbital shaken bioreactor / fermentor for single-use bags – SB50-X
The SB50-X is an orbital shaken bioreactor for the cultivation of human, mammalian and plant cells in a single-use bag. A working volume from 15 liters up to 50 liters ensures easy scale-up from microtiter plates to shaking flasks and all the way up to 200 liters. The SB50-X can be used in research, process development or production.
The SB50-X was developed and tested in collaboration with ExcellGene SA (Monthey, Switzerland) and the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland).
The SB50-X fills a gap in the scale-up chain from microtiter plates all the way up to 200 litres. The consistent hydro-dynamics of shaken bioreactors provide reproducible cultivation conditions throughout the volume range. The culture from the SB50-X can also serve as preculture or inoculum for the SB200-X.
Performance characteristics:
