CELL-tainer®


CELL-tainer® is our single-use solution for scalable bioreactor processing. By offering adjustment of rocking angle and speed, highly customizable bags and a range of Plug&Play add-ons, the CELL-tainer® is highly configurable and expandable. This makes it possible to handle microbial, mammalian, plant and insect cells in the same device, making it ideal for both cell culture and microbial applications . CELL-tainer ® adapts to your evolving project and/or multipurpose plant.


By offering a patented 2D rocking movement, that no one else can provide, CELL-tainer® enables the increase of power input per volume and G/L mass transfer more than 500 h-1 kLa, resulting in higher density and protein production levels at low shear.
