Sartorius has launched its UniVessel SU single-use bioreactor; operated with working volumes ranging from 0.6L to 2L.
Suitable for the cultivation of mammalian cells, including stem cells, insect and plant cells, UniVessel SU is expected to be popular for applications such as process development and optimisation.
The product combines the proven design of conventional glass vessels with the efficiency and flexibility of single-use systems.
Supplied as a completely preassembled and presterilised unit, it is ready to use straight out of the box. It can be used interchangeably with glass vessels to help laboratories better manage peak workloads despite challenging timelines.
Each UniVessel SU is equipped with integrated single-use sensors for pH and dissolved oxygen measurement.
These measures the pH and DO values non-invasively to eliminate autoclaving and risk-prone insertion of probes in the culture vessel. Compatible with SSB BIOSTAT controllers, UniVessel SU can also be operated with most brands of bioreactor controller.
The Connection Box enables the integrated single-use sensors of UniVessel SU to be used with existing controllers.
Up to four bioreactor controllers can be interfaced per Connection Box, whereas the sensor calibration data can be read in easily by a barcode scanner in an error-free manner.
