Wave-mixed bioreactor for shear-sensitive cell cultures
Optimize cell cultivation with a modular, wave-induced mixing system, designed for seamless scaling and precise process control, ensuring conditions ideal for sensitive therapies like CAR-T and stem cell treatments.
Cultivates and Scales Up Cell Therapies
The Biostat® RM from Sartorius is a GMP-compliant, wave-mixed bioreactor that solves key challenges in cell therapy production. This system employs a rocking motion to create an optimal environment for shear-stress-sensitive cell lines, crucial for high-quality yields in products like CAR-T cells and monoclonal antibodies. Ideal for biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, mAbs, and gene therapies, the Biostat® RM integrates seamlessly into your production line with its flexible single-use design.
With a working volume up to 200 liters, it supports scale-up from process development to commercial manufacturing, reducing time and costs associated with expanding production capabilities. Powered by the Biobrain® automation platform, this bioreactor allows for advanced process control with integrated BioPAT® sensors, ensuring consistent operational parameters across all production stages.
Its single-use design minimizes contamination risks and simplifies cleaning processes, while the modular architecture offers configurability to suit varied production scenarios, thus enhancing process intensification. The Biostat® RM meets rigorous industry standards, making it suitable for stringent environments in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing.
