Reliable, controlled environment for the production of microorganisms or biological substances
What is a bioreactor?
A bioreactor is a specialized vessel designed to support controlled biological processes necessary to produce drugs, vaccines, and other therapeutic products. These bioreactors provide an environment in which microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, or cells) or biological substances (such as proteins or antibodies) can grow and develop under controlled conditions for commercial purposes. By providing a precise and stable environment, bioreactors ensure consistent product quality, safe operation, and compliance with pharmaceutical standards, which is critical in all pharmaceutical processes.
Custom bioreactors for controlled and safe bioprocessing
Gpi stainless steel bioreactors are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of pharmaceutical production. Each reactor is designed for precise process control, hygienic operation, and seamless integration into your pharmaceutical production process. Key design elements include:
- Premium materials: Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel with 3.1 certified contact parts, the bioreactor has ground interior surfaces with an optional electropolishing treatment to reduce contamination risk
- Precision bioprocess control: The bioreactor features an (magnetic) agitator and pressure transmitter for accurate regulation of agitation speed, pressure, and temperature regulation through a steam jacket
- CIP and SIP compatibility: Equipped with Clean-In-Place (CIP) connections, including (custom drilled) spray balls, and full support for Sterilization-In-Place (SIP), enabling maximum hygiene without disassembly
- Integrated safety features: Various safety equipment such as safety valve, burst disc and related instruments provide protection against overpressure and ensure safety throughout the fermentation or cell-culture process
- Efficient aeration: Integrated aeration system delivers precise oxygen or gas levels, optimizing microbial growth or cell cultures
- Hygienic design: Fully electropolished interior surface and ground welds (inside and outside) support compliance with GMP and FDA standards
- Monitoring: Sight glass and integrated sensors allow continuous observation and adjustment of key process parameters
- Flexible configuration: Multiple inlets and outlets, including membrane valves and sample ports, allow easy integration with your other bioprocessing systems
- Optional mobile execution (frame with wheels): Provides safe and controlled movement within the production area, featuring brakes for stability, enhancing more efficient use of available space
