Stainless steel bioreactor for small-scale bioprocess production
Optimize your bioprocess development with a modular stainless steel bioreactor designed for seamless scale-up, thorough process control, and efficient integration from pilot to production scale.
Facilitates Bioprocess Scale-Up and Cultivation
The Applikon BioPilot from Getinge is a versatile stainless steel bioreactor designed for biopharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturing. This multi-use pilot plant bioreactor simplifies the transfer from lab scale to production with its modular design and Sterilize-in-Place capability. It’s optimized for cultivating microbial and cell cultures, producing vital therapies like monoclonal antibodies and mRNA vaccines. With working volumes ranging from 20 to 200 liters, the BioPilot excels in scale-up studies, process optimization, and small-scale production. It features PLC automation for precise control and is constructed from pharma-grade 316L stainless steel, ensuring compliance with cGMP standards. The integrated magnetic agitator system and hygienic design minimize contamination risk, while its robust configuration supports both batch and continuous operations.
