42 results about "Single-use bioreactor" patented technology

A single-use bioreactor or disposable bioreactor is a bioreactor with a disposable bag instead of a culture vessel. Typically, this refers to a bioreactor in which the lining in contact with the cell culture will be plastic, and this lining is encased within a more permanent structure (typically, either a rocker or a cuboid or cylindrical steel support). Commercial single-use bioreactors have been available since the end of the 1990s and are now made by several well-known producers (See below) .

Bioreactors

The present invention relates to improved single-use bioreactors comprising disposable plastic bags for cell cultivation. The invention provides an inflatable bioreactor bag for cell cultivation comprised of a top and a bottom sheet of polymer material that are joined along their edges to form a sealed bag, wherein two opposing edges are formed as clamping edges to allow clamping of the bioreactor bag to a rocker type bioreactor, and wherein the bioreactor bag is provided with a wrinkle preventing structure at each end of the clamping edges. The bag avoids formation of undesired wrinkles or creases which otherwise lead to fatigue of the plastic and eventually fracture.
