AUSTAR’s scope of work involves detail design, modular design, fabrication, installation and commissioning.

The design with bottom mounted magnetic agitator will prevent cell culture contamination and the shear force during the cell culture process will be reduced when optimising the impeller, which shows how AUSTAR helps our clients address and solve containment challenges in the cell cultivation field.

AUSTAR and its team will work closely with the client's project team to drive the implementation of the project and deliver high-value, problem-solving and effective solutions and technical support, helping Ceva Animal Health Technology (Hangzhou) achieve its mission.
