CELLDISC: CELL CULTURE VESSELS

INNOVATIVE DESIGN SIMPLIFIES YOUR WORKFLOW

The aim of mass cell culture is to produce large quantities of cells mostly used for industrial or clinical applications. Users can choose from a variety of different disposables and concepts. To reduce the cost of the scale up process to a minimum, different factors need to be considered and evaluated. If multilayer devices such as CELLdisc are to be used, not only growth area and the number of cells per device should be taken into account but also how effectively incubator space is utilized by them. The innovative CELLdisc with its round and ergonomic design stands out from existing rectangular devices. The cuboid nature of these alternatives would, at first glance, imply an optimal use of space within an incubator that is itself cuboid in design. However, the length and width of such systems do not correspond ideally to the dimensions of standard incubators and leave a lot of space unused. Additionally, such devices cannot be positioned next to each other as this could compromise consistent thermal distribution by limiting access to the temperature environment of the incubator. CELLdisc however, thanks to the cylindrical nature of the design, can be placed directly next to one another and still receive uniform exposure to the optimum temperature of the incubator.

Due to the round concept any position can be achieved by rotating. Therefore, handling requires little effort with minimal motion and space requirement. The innovative design simplifies the workflow (just fill, tilt and turn), eliminates multiple working steps and reduces the risk of contamination.
