Description
See it in 3D | View data file | Overview video The Xcellerex™ X-platform bioreactors are designed with a modular approach, consisting of three separately housed components: Bioreactor Vessel: Full opening door, baffles, and novel cable management solutions. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling determines the optimal placement of the drive unit, baffles, and liquid addition lines and ensures broad power input range and predictable scalability. The Impeller design is optimized for mixing and mass transfer of gases and cell culture media and supports a wide range of cell densities. The sparge design includes three main elements for oxygen mass transfer, plus an optional single element for metabolic CO _2 mitigation. The larger Xcellerex™ X-500 and X-2000 systems feature exhaust filter assemblies accessible from ground level. Early foam detection and control is achieved with a novel camera technology (currently only on Xcellerex™ X-500 and X-2000). Cabinet Assembly: Houses all power, gas, liquid management, and sensor components. Can be positioned on either side of the bioreactor for flexible arrangement. Human Machine Interface (HMI): Users operate the control software (Figurate™ automation powered by PlantPAx® DCS) via the HMI, which features a 21.5 in. color touchscreen, industrial keyboard, and mouse designed for use in a cleanroom environment. Xcellerex™ X-platform biocontainer bags : Standard bag designs support security of supply and provide application-specific features and functions for use in basic applications, such as batch cultures, to more complex perfusion operations. The bags are built with industry-proven Allegro™ film and are shipped with innovative, robust packaging packaging to minimize the risk of damage.
