Should I switch to single-use bioreactors? Ten years ago, single-use bioreactor (SUB) vessels were limited in size, making them only practical for lab setups. However, Thermo Scientific is launching a 5,000 L single-use bioreactor and BioInno is already using a 6,000...
Four methods to control pH in bioreactors Keeping pH at healthy biological levels is potentially the most powerful tool in upstream bioprocessing to increase product titers. Bioreactions are expensive and run on long timelines, making it critical to maximize each run....
Shakers, rockers, and stirred tank bioreactors – advantages of each We’ve previously written articles comparing single-use bioreactors to stainless steel or glass multi-use bioreactors. You can read about when to switch to single-use, the advantages of single-use...
Advantages of single-use plastic bioreactors in small-scale bioprocessing Single-use bioreactors (SUBs) offer an unprecedented level of flexibility to researchers and manufacturers. SUBs are made of plastic, and are incinerated after use rather than put through the...
Comparing the environmental impacts of single-use bioreactors vs. stainless steel Single-use plastics for consumer products have long been the bane of the environmental movement, with grocery bags and straws as obvious examples. Single-use plastics in bioprocessing,...
