Single-use bioreactors from GE Healthcare Life Sciences

Single-use technology eliminates the hassle of time-consuming and costly cleaning and sterilising operations, as well as the corresponding validation procedures. The result is a faster batch-to-batch turnover, more efficient processing, and an overall increased facility utilisation rate. Single-use Xcellerex™ and WAVE Bioreactor™ systems from GE Healthcare can bring speed and flexibility to your process.These well-characterised systems deliver a performance comparable with that of conventional bioreactors of equivalent size—from process development to manufacturing scale. WAVE Bioreactor systems offer a convenient and cost-effective, single-use bioreactor solution for seed train and small-scale culturing up to 100 L working volume. Xcellerex XDR stirred tank bioreactor systems are designed to minimize scale-up risks and facilitate the goal of achieving a robustness, purity, and potency of the final manufacturing-scale process that is comparable with the process in development scale. Consistent vessel geometries and efficient mass transfer combine for an easily scalable, single-use system. All this is achieved without the complexity or cost of steam-in-place and clean-in-place operations. www.gelifesciences.com/upstream
