Biological fermentation tank for pharmaceutical production
In pharmaceutical production, scaling up from laboratory research to commercial production involves specific equipment for microbial culture fermentation. This process requires strict regulatory compliance and the ability to handle various bacteria strains under controlled conditions.
Scale up microbial culture fermentation efficiently
The Biological Fermentation Tank by Austar addresses these needs with its comprehensive range, offering volumes from 5 to 30 kiloliters. This allows for smooth transitions from pilot-scale projects to commercial production. The tanks are designed in accordance with GMP regulations and ASME-BPE requirements, meeting pressure vessel standards worldwide, including ASME-U, GB150, and PED. The specialized, user-friendly, and modular design supports high oxygen-consuming bacteria such as E. coli and Pichia pastoris. This makes it suitable for the production of biological drugs like recombinant proteins (e.g., insulin) and vaccines (e.g., HPV, pneumococcal vaccine).
