Description
The GE Cytiva Wave 20/50EH is a versatile and highly reliable rocking bioreactor system designed for the cultivation of animal, plant, and insect cells. This system utilizes a unique wave-induced agitation method that provides excellent oxygen transfer and mixing while maintaining an extremely low-shear environment. Equipped with a 50L tray and an integrated heating system, this EH (Environmental Heating) model is an industry standard for seed train development, vaccine production, and monoclonal antibody research.
Technical Performance and Design
- Gentle Wave Agitation: The rocking motion creates a continuous wave in the Cellbag bioreactor, ensuring efficient nutrient distribution and gas exchange without the cell damage often caused by mechanical impellers.
- Integrated Thermal Management: The 50L tray features a built-in heater plate that provides precise and uniform temperature control across the entire footprint of the bioreactor bag.
- EH Model Control: The EH configuration is designed for enhanced environmental stability, allowing for tight regulation of the internal culture temperature, which is critical for consistent metabolic performance.
- Scalable Platform: While this unit includes the 20L tray, the 20/50 system is designed to be flexible, accommodating various tray sizes to support different production volumes.
