Applikon BioSep
The ideal solution for long-term cultivation
- Automatic removal of cell debris
- No damage to the cells
- No fouling or blocking allows for long term operation
- Scalable perfusion device (0,1 – 1.000 L / day)
High separation efficiency
Using the technology of acoustic resonance allows for high separation efficiency (99%) without damaging any cells. One standard mode of operation employs, for example, a harvest pump at the exit port of the resonator chamber, and a recirculation pump for the return of separated cells that settled from the acoustic energy field within the resonator chamber. Alternatively, the Applikon BioSep system can be set up to allow for semicontinuous operation or alternative strategies of cell recirculation.
Easy to install and operate
The Applikon BioSep can be mounted directly onto the bioreactor head plate. An extensive characterization has proven full scalability between the different sizes allowing you to start in perfusion mode directly at the beginning of your process optimization all the way through to production.
The Applikon BioSep system is available in 1 L/day, 10 L/day, 50 L/day, 200 L/day and 1000 L/day and is compatible with any brand of bioreactor.
Proven under cGMP conditions
The Applikon BioSep system is used as perfusion device in various commercially operated cGMP processes. The 50 L/day and 200 L/day separation model are by default supplied with all documentation and services required for cGMP operation.
