Fluid dynamics of flow fields in a disposable 600-mL orbitally shaken bioreactor

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Likuan Zhu

Orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) are commonly used for the cultivation of mammalian cells in suspension. Here we conducted a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to characterize the fluid field in the disposable 600-mL orbital ...

Studies on fluid dynamics of the flow field and gas transfer in orbitally shaken tubes

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Xiao Shen, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Likuan Zhu

Orbitally shaken cylindrical bioreactors [OrbShake bioreactors (OSRs)] without an impeller or sparger are increasingly being used for the suspension cultivation of mammalian cells. Among small volume OSRs, 50-mL tubes with a ventilated cap (OSR50), origina ...

A comparison of orbitally-shaken and stirred-tank bioreactors: pH modulation and bioreactor type affect CHO cell growth and protein glycosylation

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Marc Moniatte, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Valentin Juvet

Orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) support the suspension cultivation of animal cells at volumetric scales up to 200 L and are a potential alternative to stirred-tank bioreactors (STRs) due to their rapid and homogeneous mixing and high oxygen transfer ra ...

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 for Sf9 cell cultivation in suspension

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Xiao Shen, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Giulia Tontodonati

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 tubes (TS600s) were recently developed for the bench-scale cultivation of animal cells in suspension. Here we compared batch cultures of Sf9 insect cells in TS600s, spinner flasks, and shake flasks. Super ...
