technology
Single-use bioreactors
Stirred-tank, orbital-shaken or vertical-wheel bioreactors in which a gamma-irradiated plastic bag replaces the stainless-steel vessel, eliminating cleaning/sterilization between batches and enabling 50-2000 L clinical-to-commercial mammalian and microbial culture.
Where it's used
Bioproduction CDMO/CMO (biologics/ATMP/mRNA)
Contract development and manufacturing organizations providing specialized infrastructure for advanced biopharmaceuticals.
Microcarriers for adherent cell cultures
Small (100–300 μm) suspended particles whose surface lets anchorage-dependent cells grow inside ordinary stirred-tank and single-use bioreactors — the consumable that turns adherent biology (vaccines, cell therapy, cultivated meat) into a scalable, GMP industrial process.
Single-use bag bioreactors (50L-2000L)
Gamma-irradiated single-use bag bioreactors in the 50-2000 L stirred-tank class — Sartorius Biostat STR, Cytiva Xcellerex XDR, Thermo Fisher HyPerforma, Merck Mobius — that replaced stainless steel for clinical and commercial mAb, vaccine and cell-and-gene-therapy manufacturing, cutting facility build-out from years to weeks and underpinning the CDMO economy.
Single-use bioprocessing & modular factories
Disposable bioreactors, bags and tubing plus modular factories (KUBio — 12–18 months vs 5–7 years) cut capex and cross-contamination, making biomanufacturing flexible and multi-product.
