Perfusion / Cell Retention: Attaching An ATF System To Different Bioreactors

There are three methods to attach an ATF™ System to a bioreactor, depending on the type of bioreactor you use.

Autoclavable glass reactors
The ATF is attached with special molded tubing via a diptube, and both are autoclaved together.

Single-use reactors
The ATF is autoclaved with tubing and a single-use aseptic connector, such as Pall Kleenpack or GE ReadyMate,  and then a sterile connection is made to the reactor.

Steel reactors
The ATF is autoclaved and then connected to a reactor port via a steamed resterilizable valve connection
