Proven for animal, virus, insect, and plant cell
culture in suspension, or on carriers.
The Wave Bioreactor consists of two components:
1. Disposable Cellbagú:
Cells and media are contained inside a single-use
bag. These radiation sterilized Cellbags include
filters, tubes and all necessary fittings. They
are delivered ready for use. Cellbags are available
in several sizes for 0.1 to 500 liters of culture
volume.
2. Rocker: The
rocker unit has optimized devices designed to
inflate and rock the Cellbag for oxygen transfer
and mixing. These rugged machines are designed
to give years of reliable service. Options include
CO2 control, DO monitoring, temperature control,
weight control, pH control, and data acquisition.
Units can be used in an incubator or standalone.

The Wave Bioreactor is the ideal device for cell
culture. Culture medium and cells only contact
a presterile, disposable chamber called a Cellbag
that is placed on a special rocking platform.
The rocking motion of this platform induces waves
in the culture fluid. These waves provide mixing
and oxygen transfer, resulting in a perfect environment
for cell growth that can easily support over 10
x 106 cells/ml. The
bioreactor requires no cleaning or sterilization,
providing the ultimate ease in operation and protection
against cross-contamination.
Scalable to 500 Liters
The Wave Bioreactor is available in sizes up to 500 liter culture volume:
Disposable Bioreactor Chamber
Culture only contacts a presterile plastic disposable
cultivation chamber. No cross-contamination, cleaning,
sterilization or other validation headaches.
Completely Closed System
Ideal for virus or vaccine production, high containment
applications, and cGMP operations. No biosafety
cabinet is needed, even for additions and sampling.
Versatile
Multiple instrument configurations specifically designed for suspension,
microcarrier, batch, fed-batch or perfusion culture. Use pneumatic unit
inside an incubator or benchtop models with integral temperature control.
Suitable for cGMP Operations
Used in the GMP production of human therapeutics. Closed system is easy
to validate. All Cellbag contact materials conform to USP Class VI and
ISO 10993.
Perfusion Culture Option
Patented internal perfusion filters enable perfusion
of media for high-density cell culture. No pumparound
or external cell separator needed.
Easy to Operate
No complex piping or sterilization sequences.
Simply place a new presterile Cellbag on the rocker;
fill with media, and add your cells.
