USED THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC HYPERFORMA 50 L SINGLE-USE BIOREACTOR W
Overview
Description
The Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ 50 L Single-Use Bioreactor (S.U.B.) with Applikon® Controller is a fully integrated single-use stirred-tank bioreactor system designed for process development, pilot-scale production, and cGMP biomanufacturing. The system combines Thermo Fisher's stainless-steel bioreactor support vessel with a disposable BioProcess Container (BPC) and an Applikon PLC-based control platform for precise monitoring and automation of cell culture processes.
The 50 L HyPerforma S.U.B. supports batch, fed-batch, and perfusion cultures for mammalian, insect, and microbial cells. Its open-architecture design allows integration with multiple automation platforms while providing advanced control of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, agitation, gas flow, and feeding strategies. Thermo also offered complete turnkey systems with integrated Applikon controllers, making this configuration a popular choice for upstream bioprocessing laboratories and pilot manufacturing facilities.
