Sterile media and buffer storage tanks

Ensure uninterrupted bioproduction with our tanks designed for secure storage and precise dosing of sterile media and buffers, maintaining sterile conditions for critical upstream and downstream processes.

Stores, Transfers, and Sterilizes Sterile Media and Buffers

Bioengineering’s Media and Buffer Hold Tanks are integral components in biopharmaceutical production, specifically designed to support seamless operations in biotech processes. What sets these stainless steel tanks apart is their ability to securely store, transfer, and sterilize media and buffers essential for cell culture and microbial processes. Ideal for applications involving vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and recombinant proteins, they streamline production by integrating into both fed-batch and continuous processes. These tanks range from 30 to 20,000 liters and provide options for manual or fully automated operation, featuring hygienic control valves and sterile filtration systems. The tanks can be automated to integrate into CIP systems, ensuring efficient cleaning and maintenance. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they comply with global GMP standards, ensuring safety and reliability in biopharmaceutical environments. Additionally, Bioengineering offers customization and engineering support to match your specific production requirements.
