Bioreactor for mammalian and microbial cell cultivation
Optimize your bioprocesses with advanced temperature and heat transfer controls, ideal for scaling up cell cultivation and fermentation to achieve consistent results in high-demand production environments.

Facilitates Cell Cultivation and Fermentation Processes
The BioFlo® 320 Bioreactor from Eppendorf is an engineered-to-order solution designed for complex bioprocessing needs. Featuring both glass and single-use vessel options with interchangeable magnetic and direct drive mechanisms, it supports cell cultivation and fermentation in R&D and industrial settings alike. Ideal for producing monoclonal antibodies, biofuels, and biopolymers, it accommodates batch, fed-batch, and continuous operations with working volumes ranging from 0.6 to 10.5 liters. The bioreactor’s autoclavable design includes a borosilicate glass body and stainless steel head plate, offering robust heat transfer capabilities or gentle temperature control via a water jacket. It integrates seamlessly with bioprocess controllers and supports various impeller designs, including Rushton and marine blades. The BioFlo® 320 is compliant with GMP standards, ensuring suitability for regulated environments, and features easy cleaning with interchangeable vessel designs. Customization options and engineering support are available to meet your unique process requirements.
