Sartorius, DCS--B1, Univessel® SU 2 L - Barcode scanner

The Univessel®SU is designed to support the full range of mammalian cell culture applications at the bench scale while offering seamless scale-up from process development to commercial manufacturing.
Enhanced productivity
The single-use vessels arrive irradiated and ready-to-use, shortening setup and bioreactor turnaround times while minimizing contamination risk. The vessel accommodates working volumes from 0.6 to 2 L for Univessel®SU 2 L. For Univessel®SU 10 L: from 2.5 to 10 L (for Essential & Perfusion Variants) and from 4.3 to 10 L (for Cell Therapy Variant), supporting flexible operation.
Optimized scalability
Univessel®SU vessels have geometric designs and scale-up ratios consistent with Ambr®and Biostat STR®systems. This ensures standardized scaling, accelerating process development activities and mitigating risk during technology transfer.
Specialized designs
The vessel is available in multiple application-specific designs to support different process requirements.
Univessel®SU 2 L: A basic bioreactor maximized for small scale, with 3-blade impellers, sparger and thermo-weldable tubing with standard connectors.
Univessel®SU 10 L Essential: A stirred-tank reactor for standard mammalian cell culture, featuring optimized mixing and gas exchange.
Univessel®SU 10 L Perfusion: A perfusion-ready vessel equipped with a dedicated port and micro-sparger for intensified processing.
Univessel®SU 10 L Cell Therapy: A vessel equipped with an elephant-ear impeller designed to deliver efficient mixing even at low power input, making it well-suited for cell therapy applications.
Manufacturing readiness
Manufacturing-compliant options enable low-volume clinical and commercial manufacturing. GMP-environment vessels are supported by a high level of quality documentation, including extractables and leachables data and validation guides – exclusively for Univessel®SU 10 L.
