TideCell-010 HD Cell Culture System

TideCell-010 HD Cell Culture System

TideCell-010 HD Cell Culture System is a bench-top, fixed-bed bioreactor utilizing an unique respiratory culture principle under low shear stress and high aeration capability.  The system can culture cell from 3 x1011 in a small operation footprint, which is equivalent to conventional 375 L stir tank bioreactor.

Trade Description

Product Feature

Easy-to-use, Reliable, Pilot Scale ( for 1011 cell production)
  •    Pilot-scale bioreactor for mammalian cell culture with the control program for multiple parameters
  •    Fixed-bed system with 5~10 L matrices capacity, equivalent to 50~100 L convention stir tank bioreactor.
  •    Autoclavable and single-use matrix vessel provides adaptation flexibilities while reducing user’s budget and shortening the timeline.
  •    Accommodate users for process development in biopharmaceutical industry, enabling quick transition to cGMP production.

TideCell-010 High-Density Cell Culture System (TideCell-010 System) is a fixed-bed bioreactor designed for the industrial research and pilot scale production of cell, protein, and virus. The yield of cells can reach around 1011, which is equivalent to 100 L conventional stir tank bioreactor.
 
By the monitoring and control program, users can easily get access to all critical parameters and trend graphics during the run. Batch-oriented data, including weight, agitation, pH, DO, CO2 concentration, temperature, medium feeding, etc, are allowed to compile for the process analysis and optimization. With respect to the security issue, the logging data, alarm functions, and event records are also available in the system to minimize potential risks in process transfer to the final manufacturing level.
 
With the modular design, TideCell-010 System presents simple installation, easy-to-use, durability and uncomplicated maintenance, and thus exceeds traditional SIP bioreactors. A wide range of add-on consumables are also available to fit the process requirement.
 
In addition, CESCO Bioengineering fully supports all necessary quality documents to support validation. TideCell-010 System is the very best choice for the pilot plant studies, viral infection studies, and economical mass cell production.



Principle:
 
TideCell HD Cell Culture System inherits the same patented principle of BelloCell bottles. Packed with porous BioNOC II matrices, the matrix vessel functions as an artificial lung with a huge contact surface for nutrition and aeration for cell culture. The culture medium is periodically drawn from the external Mixing Bag into the matrix vessel to submerge the matrices and withdrawn from the vessel to expose the matrices, driven by the applied air pressure. Thus, cells entrapped inside the matrices are able to receive sufficient nutrients and oxygen, while metabolic wastes such as lactate and carbon dioxide can be efficiently carried away in a gentle manner. The concept of the design is to solve problems (shear stress, limited oxygen supply, and low cell density) frequently occurring on the commercial models, and to simplify the operation.


The culture medium in the external mixing bag, homogenized by different agitation methods, flows between the matrix vessel in the incubator and mixing bag by the switch-over of negative / positive air pressures, submerging the matrices where cells attach. As a result, the matrices are submerged and exposed to air periodically. During the submerging phase, fresh nutrients replenish, and metabolic wastes are diffused and then carried away. Meanwhile, the carbon dioxide is forced to exhaust. During aeration, clean air is introduced and contacts with the porous matrices through a thin liquid film. The oxygen transfer efficiency is maximized. The culture medium is re-mixed and tuning for pH/DO in the mixing bag.
