Mini bioreactor for cell culture and microbial process development

Achieve precise control and reproducibility in small-scale bioprocess development, optimizing resource use in bench-top environments with advanced measurement and control capabilities for cell culture and microbial applications.

Facilitates Parallel Bioprocess Development and Optimization

The DASbox® Mini Bioreactor from Eppendorf is designed for meticulous process development and optimization in biopharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. Its industry-standard autoclavable glass vessel is equipped with a stainless steel head plate, enabling precise control with advanced sensors for temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. This bioreactor supports applications ranging from monoclonal antibody production to biofuel research, with a working volume of 60–250 mL, optimizing resource use and maintaining scalability. The direct overhead drive features either a marine or Rushton-type impeller, tailored for cell culture or microbial processes, respectively. Ideal for R&D and academic institutions, it allows parallel processing, reducing development time. Its liquid-free exhaust condenser facilitates easy operation with slide-in activation, ensuring simplicity in maintenance. No matter the application, the DASbox® Mini Bioreactor integrates seamlessly into a lab’s workflow, offering configurable options to meet specific project requirements.
