Desktop bioprocessor for continuous biomanufacturing
Scaling down a full biotech facility to a desktop unit is crucial for labs aiming to enhance productivity and streamline their bioprocesses. Traditional setups are often bulky and inefficient, creating barriers to optimal cell culture management and daily harvests.
Downsizes a biotech facility into a desktop unit
The Bioprocessor from Stämm is a comprehensive desktop solution for continuous biomanufacturing. This all-in-one plug & play unit operates with continuous, unidirectional, and laminar flow to maintain peak cell efficiency. It streamlines the control of microenvironmental parameters such as culture medium, pH, dissolved oxygen, and cell density. The Bioprocessor offers a 200-fold size reduction compared to traditional biotech facilities, handling smaller processing volumes between 100x and 400x less, depending on the cell culture. This significant decrease in size and volume results in up to a 70-fold increase in productivity. The system includes innovative elements like microfluidics for precise fluid control and an electroporation system for efficient culture medium sterilization. Furthermore, the Biomaterials team ensures that the bio-inks used are structurally sound and biocompatible for 3D printed bioreactors.
