An Update on the Advantages of Fibra-Cel® Disks for Cell Culture

          With a renewed acceptance of perfusion processesin cell in culture, both in the laboratory and for production applications (1), New Brunswick packed-bed bioreactors using Fibra-Cel® disks are seeing an upsurge in interest. This article examines Fibra-Cel technology and its many advantages, from increased yields of secreted proteins to labor savings in applications ranging from rabies vaccine production to production of the first licensed gene therapy drug.   What Is Fibra-Cel?   Fibra-Cel from New Brunswick…

CelliGen® BLU Single-Use, 5-L and 14-L Bioreactor

          Whether you are culturing animal cells in an R&D laboratory or in a pilot production facility, your ability to precisely control all process parameters is critical. Culture yield depends on it, and should your process go into production, FDA requirements mandate it. Therefore the performance of your bioreactor’s controller is as important as a good vessel design, as an optimized medium formulation, or selection of the right cell line. This article focuses on the process…
