Large-Scale, Microcarrier Separation System Datasheet

A large-scale, self-contained, single-use solution for harvesting and separating microcarriers from cell culture media.

Thermo Scientific™ Harvestainer™ BioProcess Containers (BPCs) are closed, single-use microcarrier separation systems that help increase product yields over traditional methods, while reducing clean-in-place and steam-in-place requirements and water for injection usage.

Using the Harvestainer BPC helps ensure full containment of cell culture supernatant in a closed, single-use system for user safety. Additionally, the sophisticated design of these BPCs reduces hold-up volumes to increase recovery efficiencies, yielding more product with less effort. Simple post-use disposal reduces cleaning costs and process cycle times.

Key features and benefits

• In-line microcarrier separation from cell culture media
• Secondary containment
• User safety with closed, single-use system
• High yield (cell recovery ≥85%)
• Reduction of cycle time and the manual process of liquid decanting into separate microcarriers
