With the 3L-vessel module, users can now perform cell cultivations in smaller working volumes ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 L. The 3L-vessel simply replaces the standard 10L-vessel on the SB10‑X shaking table. The smaller module is offered as an option in addition to the standard SB10‑X, or users can purchase the shaking bioreactor with just the 3L-vessel.

A retrofit kit is also available for current users of the SB10-X bioreactor who could benefit from the smaller module. The kit includes additional components for the tray module, a 3L-vessel module, and the software and firmware updates. The shaking diameter should be adjusted to 25 mm. Suitable 3L-single-use cultivation bags are ready for purchase.

We are happy to provide data on k_La, mixing time, volumetric power input, heating time, and evaporation rate to help our customers scale up their bioprocesses.
