Comparison of Single Use Bioreactor BIOSTAT® CultiBag RM and Reusable STR for Cultivation of CHO Cells in Serum Free Media

5 May 2011

In this application note, Sartorius present a study of the cultivation of suspension adapted CHO-S and CHO-K1 cells in the single use bioreactor BIOSTAT® CultiBag RM compared to the BIOSTAT® B-DCU® with stirred glass vessels. Serum free chemically defined media was used for the propagation of cells. Growth characteristics and basic metabolic profiles were investigated.

BIOSTAT® CultiBag RM single use bioreactor

Sartorius Group

BIOSTAT® CultiBag RM single-use bioreactor for the cultivation of all cell types, including mammalian cells, plant cells, insect cells, stem cells and microbial cells. Application-driven packages are available for culturing from 100 ml to 300 l. BIOSTAT® CultiBag RM is a single-use bioreactor utilising rocking motion agitation with low shear. The feedback control loops using single use sensors for pH and DO, bring new levels of confidence to process development.
