Substitute high costs for high performance with the DynaDrive S.U.B.
- Ability to decrease the cost of production by 25% through the reduction of equipment, materials, consumables, and labor, enabled by the increased reactor size, lowering the number of production batches required for a given volumetric demand.
- Provides a lower average cost per gram and net present cost of investment up to scales of 4,200 kilograms per year of production.
- Leveraging higher in-vessel turndown ratios to run multiple stages in a single bioreactor can reduce the number of bags loaded and unloaded as well as the number of bioreactors needed overall in the facility.
- Available in 50 L, 500 L, 3,000 L, and 5,000 L providing efficiency in manufacturing with improved mass transfer and mixing; this allows for the use of the same technology over a larger range of facility networks thus simplifying process transfers from research and development to commercial manufacturing phases.
- The DynaDrive S.U.B. has been designed specifically to increase power input per volume (PIV). The flexible drive train includes multiple impellers that provide more PIV while still maintaining reasonable RPM and tip speeds. The unique drive train is also flexible, which allows the BPC to be folded to minimize the size of packaging and improve BPC deployment and disassembly.
- A >10:1 turndown ratio allows you to optimize the seed train which helps reduce labor and risk while improving facility space utilization. With this turndown ratio, you can transfer highly concentrated cells directly from cell culture flasks to the bioreactor.
