Single-use fermenter for microbial applications
Optimize biopharmaceutical production with a single-use fermenter engineered for efficient fermentation and high-growth microbial cultivation, enabling quick process transfer and enhanced automation in your operations.
Facilitates High-Density Microbial Fermentation
The Biostat STR® Microbial from Sartorius is a versatile single-use fermenter engineered for high-density microbial cultivation, particularly in biopharmaceutical applications such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and recombinant proteins. It combines the advantages of single-use technology with the robust performance of stainless-steel systems. The system leverages the Biobrain® automation platform, offering precise control over cultivation parameters for seamless process integration and scalability. Supporting working volumes up to 40 liters, it’s ideal for producing monoclonal antibodies, mRNA vaccines, and plasmid DNA. The Biostat STR® Microbial’s modular design allows easy process transfer, reducing operator risk and contamination through its single-use Flexsafe® STR bags. This system meets GMP standards, ensuring compliance and facilitating efficient waste disposal and maintenance with faster batch turnover due to minimized cleaning protocols. Customize and integrate effortlessly into existing operations with support for either cell culture or microbial processes, enhancing productivity and throughput in your production line.
