Published: 22-Nov-2013

ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 allows precise, automated and intelligent control of numerous processing parameters

GE Healthcare Life Sciences' ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 bioreactor system is a cell culture device with advanced functionality to meet the evolving needs of bioprocessing.

Novel features of the system include a tilt function to facilitate sampling and harvest, and adjustable rocking speed, angle, and motion to suit cultivation of many different cell types.

The system allows precise, automated, and intelligent control of numerous process parameters through a user-friendly graphical operator interface, which provides real-time control and many data analysis and reporting options. It is suitable for research, process development, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing applications.

The complete system consists of a rocker, gas mixer, and pump, all operated by Unicorn control software. It supports the use of disposable Cellbag bioreactor cultivation chambers with working volumes of up to 25L.

The company says set-up is quick as suitable parameters can be automatically determined for the run using a library of predefined controls tailored for different cultivation volumes.

In addition, ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 automatically monitors culture conditions and rapidly responds to changes to optimise performance, providing accurate and stable control of the process.
