Cell culture bioreactor for mabs and vaccines
Optimize your biopharmaceutical production with advanced cell culture capabilities, ensuring rapid scale-up from R&D to cGMP manufacturing for critical therapies like vaccines and monoclonal antibodies.

Facilitates Scalable Cell Culture Processes
The Ambr® 15 Cell Culture Bioreactor System from Sartorius is tailored for streamlined R&D and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. It employs high-throughput parallel processing, optimizing cell culture development through a reproducible scale-down format. Ideal for producing monoclonal antibodies and vaccines, it supports batch, fed-batch, and perfusion modes. With a capacity to efficiently handle multiple cell lines, it’s PLC-controlled for seamless integration into existing workflows. The system’s Flexsafe® RM bags ensure robust single-use operations, made from chemically resistant polyethylene film. Compliance with industry standards makes it suitable for GMP environments. Maintenance is simplified with integrated systems for automated validation and cleaning. Customization options, including modular expansion, offer engineering support tailored to specific project needs.
