With unmatched expertise in process development for a variety of cell therapy applications, we can fulfill your research and manufacturing scale-up needs

Small-Scale System ( PBS MINI )

MagDrive Technology

  • Rotation controlled by magnetic coupling between the Vertical-Wheel® impeller and the Universal Base Unit

Process Advantages

  • Eliminates need for anti-foaming agents or shear protectants
  • Accurate agitation control with digital display

Working Volume Range

  • Single-use vessels available in two different sizes with maximum working volumes of 0.1 L and 0.5 L
  • Lower working volumes allow for in situ cell harvesting from microcarriers

Universal Base Unit

  • One base can be used to control agitation for either size of
    single-use vessels
  • Small footprint for use in incubators for temperature and gas controls
  • Specifically engineered with environmental seals to be robust and reliable under high humidity and temperature conditions

MagDrive Bioreactor System ( PBS-3 )

​Superior Mixing Performance

  • Efficient mixing with homogeneous particle suspension and low shear stress

True Scalability

  • Can be used for process development that will have predictive performance in progressively larger Vertical-Wheel bioreactors, up to commercial scale​

Certified Plastic Components

  • Product contact materials certified to meet the requirements for USP Class VI Testing for Plastics <88> and/or ISO 10993, with complete material lot traceability

Embedded Controller

  • Intuitive and reliable control system with touchscreen interface allows for customizable, secure, and remote access control and alarm reporting

Compact Footprint

  • Compact design and small footprint, with simple setup and training requirements: plug-and-play right out of the box
