Single-use bioreactor technology offers a set of benefits compared to common glass or stainless-steel vessels, including reduced downtime between runs, minimal cleaning effort, or decreased cross-contamination risk. In that regard, BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors combine the benefits of single-use bioreactor technology with the reliable performance of conventional glass or stainless-steel bioreactors. Furthermore, using them together with a powerful bioprocess controller like the BioFlo® 320 enables precise cell culture parameter control and seamless process transition to up to 40 L of working volume.
