Ambr 250 Modular 8-Unit Parallel Bioreactor System
by Sartorius
Overview
The Ambr 250 Modular 8 is a high-performance benchtop bioreactor platform designed for parallel upstream process development in microbial and mammalian cell culture. It integrates up to eight single-use 100–250 mL mini bioreactors with automated control, data acquisition and Stirred Tank Bioreactor (STR) technology in a compact, expandable format. The system supports efficient experimental workflows and scalable process characterisation across multiple parallel runs.
Highlights
- Up to eight parallel bioreactor vessels with independent process control.
- Single-use 100–250 mL “Easy-Connect” bioreactors eliminating sterilisation needs.
- Integrated liquid reservoirs and precision syringe pumps for controlled media addition.
- Supports scalable microbial and mammalian process optimization studies.
