Benchtop Bioreactor has ready-to-use, single-use design.
August 25, 2009 -
Able to increase throughput for process development scientists, Mobius CellReady 3L Bioreactor has stirred-tank format suited for use in development and optimization of cell culture processes. Vessel design promotes predictability during process scale-up, and universal design ensures compatibility with most benchtop bioreactor control systems. While able to mimic characteristics of autoclavable bioreactors, system eliminates steps associated with cleaning, assembly, and sterilization.

Millipore Unveils Single-Use MobiusŪ CellReady(TM) 3L Bioreactor at ESACT Meeting
Single-use solution eliminates downtime and increases throughput
Billerica, Massachusetts-Millipore Corporation, a Life Science leader providing technologies, tools and services for bioscience research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, unveiled its new Mobius CellReady 3L Bioreactor at the European Society for Animal Cell Technology (ESACT) conference in Dublin, Ireland. This ready-to-use three-liter bioreactor demonstrates all the benefits typically associated with single-use processing, while incorporating standard design features familiar to customers already using benchtop, stirred-tank bioreactors.
"We are excited to expand our single-use offerings with the uniquely designed Mobius CellReady Bioreactor. Now process development scientists have a benchtop, single-use bioreactor that's ready to use right out of the box so they can maximize their time in the laboratory," said Andrew Bulpin, Ph.D., Vice President, Upstream Processing, Millipore Corporation.
Designed to replace traditional glass benchtop bioreactors, the CellReady 3L Bioreactor has a standard stirred-tank format for use in development and optimization of cell culture processes. This vessel design provides a higher degree of predictability during process scale-up when compared to formats utilizing alternative vessel designs and agitation methods. It features a universal design, ensuring compatibility with most benchtop bioreactor control systems. By eliminating time-consuming steps associated with cleaning, assembly, and sterilization, the CellReady 3L bioreactor significantly reduces the turnaround time typically associated with glass bioreactors.
Arthur Oudshoorn, Managing Director, Applikon Biotechnology B.V. commented, "The CellReady Bioreactor is the first and only single-use bioreactor that truly mimics the characteristics of autoclavable bioreactors, which have evolved and proven their performance over decades. As such, the Mobius CellReady Bioreactor is bound to provide the long awaited breakthrough of stirred-tank single-use bioreactors."
The CellReady 3L Bioreactor was co-developed under agreement with Applikon Biotechnology B.V., a market leader in traditional, glass and stainless steel bench-scale bioreactors, specifically for use within biopharmaceutical process development applications.
