New benchtop bioreactor uses presterilized, prevalidated, single-use vessels to simplify cell culture

Abstract

New Brunswick Scientific has introduced a benchtop cell culture bioreactor that combines the benefits of single-use technology with the trusted performance and true scalability of a stirred-tank design. CelliGen^™ BLU eliminates the need for autoclaving and cleaning, reduces validation requirements, provides rapid turnaround between runs, minimizes startup costs and significantly reduces the risk of contamination because the vessel is used once and then discarded. A compact controller enables advanced process management for research or manufacturing.
