Control for Bioreactors from a Single Source: Manufacturing, Parameterizing, Testing, and Commissioning

Objective

In bioreactors, microorganisms or cells are cultured in a nutrient medium. Eckelmann solutions control bioreactor functions, regulate and control pH value, gas flows, speeds, and temperatures, for example.
Eckelmann is a partner for control — to increase the quality, safety, and efficiency of bioreactors in collaboration with customers.

The Industry

The market for bioreactors is growing tremendously: this forward-looking technology enables pharmaceutical companies to manufacture antibiotics or vaccines in a regulated environment.
Typical applications for bioreactors are suspension cell cultures for the production of viral vectors for gene therapy, vaccines, or in the food industry for the production of meat substitute products.

The controls for bioreactors of various performance ranges are developed and manufactured according to customer requirements.
