Our Bioreactors

250mL bench-scale single-use bioreactor

Benchtop bioreactor for process development

Culture's 250mL single-use bioreactors are tailored for early-stage bioprocessing, providing an ideal platform for high-throughput screening, clone screening, and microbial fermentation. These small-batch bioreactors are designed to support mammalian cell culture, microbial, and viral vector development, offering precision for small-scale bioprocess optimization in R&D settings.

Perfect for researchers working on small-scale projects, our 250mL benchtop bioreactors streamline early-stage experiments and allow for seamless scale-up. With a wide range of applications in process development, process optimization, and process characterization, they are an essential tool for advancing from early-stage bioprocessing to larger-scale production.
