Microcarrier separation system for adherent cell culture

Enhance cell culture production efficiency by integrating a seamless microcarrier separation process, optimizing yield while minimizing manual handling and operational complexities.

Separates Microcarriers for Adherent Cell Cultures

The Harvestainerâ„¢ Microcarrier Separation System from Thermo Scientific is a cutting-edge solution for efficient separation of microcarrier beads in adherent cell culture processes. This closed, single-use system enhances product yield and reduces water and cleaning requirements. Designed for biotech and pharmaceutical applications, it supports the production of monoclonal antibodies, viral vectors, and engineered T cells. Available in capacities of 3 L, 12 L, 25 L, and 50 L, the system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, offering scalability and high recovery rates. Its design minimizes manual intervention with a dip tube and dipwell for optimal drainage, while operating at room temperature. Constructed from durable PETG material, this system meets sterility standards and requires no additional maintenance, reducing cycle times and process validations. Suitable for various operations, it supports compliance with stringent industry regulations, providing reliability and precision in demanding environments.
