BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactor Accessories

Head plate adapters and other accessories for the flexible use of your single-use bioreactors.

Single-use bioreactors from Eppendorf combine the trusted performance of stirred-tank design with the advantages of one-time use.

BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors are rigid-walled stirred-tank bioreactors, which can serve as a viable replacement for traditional glass bioreactors. BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors are available in different sizes for scalable bioprocesses with working volumes from 65 mL to 40 L. BioBLU c Single- Use Bioreactors are optimized for the cultivation of animal cells whereas BioBLU f Single-Use Bioreactors are designed for microbial fermentation.

Eppendorf offers reusable glass bioreactors for cell culture and microbial applications as well.

BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors reduce the contamination risk

BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors offer non-invasive sensor options for temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH. This avoids direct contact of the sensors with the medium and thus reduces the risk of contamination. Furthermore, in case of in-process sensors failure and replacement, the non-invasive sensor technology provides a risk-free exchange of sensors. Sealed magnetic bearings further reduce the contamination risk.

BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors are safely prepared in minutes

The use of disposable bioreactors saves time because they do not need to be cleaned after use. This helps increasing turn-around and furthermore eliminates the risk of cross contamination between runs. The rigid-wall design of BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors simplifies installation. There is no risk for damage due to folding, which can occur with bioreactor bags.

With BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors you can scale-up your process up to 400-fold

BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors are available in different sizes and facilitate bioprocessing in working volumes from 65 mL to 40 L. The differently sized bioreactors have similar geometries. Scale-up relevant parameters, like tip speed range, power numbers, and kLa range have been characterized to support scale-up strategy development. This is further simplified by the Scale Up Assist software feature of some Eppendorf bioreactor controllers. This feature even supports scale-up beyond the BioBLU family, to volumes up to 2000 L. Find out more how all this supports cell culture scale-up here .

BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactor versions are made for different process needs

Bioprocess requirements may differ between applications. Several BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactor versions were designed to meet them. They differ in the sparger type, number of impellers, impeller type, and compatible sensor types. Furthermore, single-use septa, tri-ports, and compression fitting adaptors facilitate the flexible use of Pg 13.5 ports. In this way you can choose the BioBLU version that best suits your process requirements regarding gassing, agitation, and liquid handling.

BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors are build on decades of experience in the field of polymer products

Decades of experience in the field of sophisticated polymer products were key to the development of BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors.

  • Bioreactor body and head plate comprised of single layer injection-molded plastic not containing softeners.
  • The use of virgin raw materials eliminates risks from the use of recycled materials.
  • Eppendorf sources all raw material directly.

BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors for various applications

Single-use bioreactors for cell culture

BioBLU c Single-Use Bioreactors have been specifically designed for the cultivation of mammalian cells. They are successfully used for the cultivation of suspension cells, cell aggregates, and cells grown on microcarriers.

Widely compatible with Eppendorf bioprocess controllers

The BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors are compatible with small- and bench-scale bioreactor control systems from Eppendorf. These bioreactor controllers are also compatible with glass bioreactors. BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactor Adaptor Kits facilitate the conversion of your bioreactor system from single-use to reusable bioreactors and vice versa. Like this, a one-time investment in a control station gives you continuous choice between disposable and reusable bioreactors. BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors can be connected to selected third-party bioprocess control systems as well. Please contact your Eppendorf sales representative for more information.
