Bioreactors & Fermenters
Complete Scalable Bioreactor Platform From Cell And Strain Line Development to Commercial Manufacturing
Sartorius supports every customer with a fully scalable and interchangeable range of single-use or glass and stainless steel bioreactor solutions. The array of automated multi-parallel mini bioreactors and classic benchtop bioreactors supports fast and reliable development and characterization of your processes throughout all phases. Seamless transfer to pilot and production scale bioreactors are ensured by Sartorius thorough understanding of bioreactor design and scale-up principles, well-thought-out automation concepts and harmonized control strategies for oxygen, pH, temperature and feed addition.
Benchtop Bioreactors
Sartorius offers you scalable benchtop solutions for the development of your bioprocess. Whether you perform batch, fed-batch or perfusion processes, Sartorius has a wide range of stirred-tank bioreactors and fermenters. You can use our benchtop bioreactors for cell cultivation as well as for microbial fermentation. Autoclavable culture vessels are available from 1 L to 10 L and single use vessels of 250 mL and 2 L.
Single-Use Bioreactors
During recent years our single-use bioreactors have become established in modern biopharmaceutical processes. This is directly linked to their unique ability to enhance flexibility, reduce investment and limit operational costs.
Today Sartorius offers a wide variety of single-use bioreactors which are ideal for mammalian cell culture, very demanding high cell-density or microcarrier-based processes.
Our single-use bioreactors from 15 mL working volume with Ambr® 15 to Biostat® STR 2,000 L have been developed to ensure easy and straightforward scale-up and scale-down. Combined with unprecedented high performance even at large scale this makes our products perfectly suitable to serve all your current and future needs from process development to commercial production phases.
Develop your process with the help of our Ambr® solutions. Team up with our Flexsafe® RM bags as a pre-fermenter in your seed train and finally use our Flexsafe STR® bags for clinical or commercial production of your valuable product.
One of the core elements of our single-use bioreactors is the Flexsafe® film. Flexsafe® ensures excellent and reproducible growth behavior of the most sensitive cell lines and meets your requirements for outstanding robustness and ease of use throughout all steps. It will provide you with an unprecedented assurance of supply. Our long term strategic partnership with resin and film suppliers ensures full traceability.
Multi-Parallel Bioreactors
For Scalable and Efficient Cell Line Selection and Process Development
Small-scale, multi-parallel bioreactors provide more process information for culture comparison in less time. Multiple experiments can assess different clones or cell lines, as well as the effects of pH, temperature, feeding, media, gassing rates and inoculation densities.
Ambr® multi-parallel bioreactors can handle your upstream process steps, from clone or cell line selection to process optimization, ensuring scalability because process data translates well into the 2L Univessel® SU and larger Biostat STR® systems.
