The CORe™ (Culture Optimization Reactor) is a complete stand-alone mini bioreactor with the capabilities of larger systems. The convenient on-board controls and touch screen display eliminates the need for a bulky external controller, saving valuable bench space and facilitates portability. The unit can be operated on a bench, in a laminar flow hood, or even on a desk. The CORe™ System is offered with USB Data Logging and both Ethernet and OPC UA compatibility. Additionally, the miniaturized nature of the system offers cost savings in the form of media, supplements and accessory usage.

The Single-Use gamma sterilized disposable bioreactor vessel offers a working capacity of 35-100ml which allows significant savings in media costs without compromising performance. Sensors for temperature, pH and DO are all “in wall,” minimizing contamination risks and interference from inserts. The only insertion is the impeller and shaft which also contains the sparger for addition of O₂, CO₂, N₂ and air. Various impeller and sparger designs may be custom ordered to fit specific user requirements.

The CORe™ System includes four peristaltic pumps standard (with an option of up to eight pumps) for flexible media handling. Sampling can be performed from both top and bottom ports which facilitate access to and from the vessel. The vessel also provides a convenient connection to any cell concentration device.
