Large-scale bioreactor for cell therapy manufacturing

Tackle the challenge of scaling therapeutic cell production with a high-capacity bioreactor designed for efficient large-scale manufacturing and precise process control, ensuring the quality and integrity of sensitive cell cultures.

Cultivates and Expands Therapeutic Cells at Scale

The PBS-80 Vertical-Wheel Bioreactor from PBS Biotech is engineered for large-scale manufacturing of therapeutic cells. It uses a unique vertical-wheel design that optimizes hydrodynamic conditions for anchorage-dependent human cells, such as cell aggregates and cells grown on microcarriers. With an 80-liter working volume, it meets the demands of both clinical stage production and commercial scale manufacturing. This bioreactor integrates seamlessly into your processing line, featuring an adjustable height harvest valve for efficient medium exchange and harvesting. Equipped with a touchscreen interface, it allows for intuitive customization and real-time process monitoring, including remote control capabilities. The PBS-80 supports advanced automation and ensures compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 cGMP standards. Available with single-use or reusable sensors, it offers flexibility in operation while being easy to clean and maintain. With PBS Biotech’s engineering support, you can tailor this bioreactor to meet specific production needs, making it ideal for producing CAR-T cell therapies, NK cell therapies, and other stem cell products.

Benefits
