Features of CelliGen BLU
- The single-use vessel eliminates autoclaving and cleaning, provides rapid turnaround between runs, reduces risk of contamination, reduces validation requirements and minimizes initial startup costs.
- Stirred-tank design provides proven performance and scalability.
- The integrated control station enables advanced gas management and process control.
- Unique pH and DO technology makes probe insertion totally noninvasive, eliminating contamination risk and making probe autoclaving unnecessary.
