Boost Productivity with Single-Use Wave Bioreactors
CytoLinX® RW 10-200 L single-use rocking systems are available in a variety of models, including 10 L, 20 L, and 50 L for 0.3–25 L culture volumes, and 100 L and 200 L for 10–100 L culture volumes. During the culture process, introduce air/oxygen (filtered by a sterile filter) into the culture bag to obtain a certain space. Place the culture bag on the rocking platform to rock, and the medium will form a rocking movement in the culture bag. Such design enables good oxygen supply and cell mixing, as well as a mild cell culture microenvironment with low shear force and high dissolved oxygen.
CytoLinX® RW 10-200 L single-use rocking systems improve the cell status by protecting them from damage due to the shear force and bubbling at the impeller ends in traditional mixing vessels. As a result, the undulating fluid level of the medium is constantly in contact with the oxygen introduced into the culture bag, providing sufficient dissolved oxygen for cell growth. Cell density and product yield can be increased by adjusting the shaking speed and angle, and by introducing a certain ratio of air/oxygen mixture into the bag.
Featuring a flexible culture volume range, easy operation, precise control, and easy process scale-up, the single-use wave bioreactors are suitable for various cell culture conditions, including scientific research, research and development, in-process seed culture, and new therapies, such as cell therapy. Single-use wave bioreactors are transforming modern bioprocessing with their unparalleled efficiency. The disposable bioreactor for cell culture significantly reduces shear-related cell damage, thereby maintaining higher cell viability and stable growth rates.

BioLink's CytoLinX® RW is controlled by Siemens PLC. The advanced PID feedback control and the optical compensation of fiber optic electrodes further improve the stability and reliability of cell culture. With precise detection and feedback regulation, the cell culture process is monitored from all aspects together with data acquisition, data analysis, data comparison, and report printing are also available. The software is user-friendly, easy to operate, and compliant with 21 CFR Part 11.
