The 50-litre CellMaker Regular from Cellexus is a single use, disposable bioreactor system that provides increased optical densities and improved yields of soluble protein compared with flask grown cultures.
Cellexus designed the system for culture of pichia, E.Coli and algae cells. It joins the 8-litre system launched in October 2008.
All Cellmaker Regular products use single-use, disposable CellexusBags that allow fast set-up and eliminate lengthy cleaning protocols. They also employ airlift technology to mix, aerate and maintain cell suspension. The systems are said to be simple, scalable and inexpensive to use.
The CellMaker Regular controller units enable precise management of temperature (15 to 45ºC), bag-pressure and flow of air and oxygen into the cell culture.
