Industrial-scale bioreactor for new food applications
When scaling up the cultivation of mammalian and other eukaryotic cells for new food applications, maintaining optimal growth conditions and mitigating cell damage from shear forces present significant challenges.
Unlock opportunities in cell cultivation
The GEA Axenic® C is an industrial-scale bioreactor system designed specifically for cultivating mammalian and other eukaryotic cells in the food industry. Unlike traditional bioreactors adapted from pharma, the Axenic® C focuses on specific cell requirements such as oxygen transfer and temperature control. It uses advanced virtual bioreactor testing to simulate and optimize shear forces, oxygen transfer rates, and other key parameters. Equipped with multiple gas connections and optional perfusion technology, it ensures reproducible, accurate levels of O2 and CO2, while removing inhibiting products. Fully automated with sterile barriers and the GEA Codex® process control platform, it guarantees efficient 24/7 production with minimal risk of contamination. Partners can also access GEA’s New Food Application and Technology Center for physical and computational testing.
