Small-Scale, Microcarrier Separation System Datasheet

A small-scale, self-contained, single-use solution for harvesting and separating microcarrier cell cultures.

Thermo Scientific™ Harvestainer™ BioProcess Containers (BPCs) are closed, single-use microcarrier separation systems that help increase product yields over traditional methods, while reducing clean-in-place and steam-in-place requirements and water-for-injection usage.

Using a Harvestainer BPC helps ensure full containment of the cell culture supernatant in a closed, single-use system for user safety. Additionally, the sophisticated design of these BPCs reduces hold-up volumes to increase recovery efficiencies, yielding more product with less effort. Simple post-use disposal reduces cleaning costs and process cycle times.

For smaller-scale applications, we developed the Thermo Scientific™ Harvestainer™ Microcarrier Separation System, an integrated microcarrier separation system designed for when <12 L of microcarrier beads require separation.

The Harvestainer BPCs are available with the Thermo Scientific™ BioTitan™ Retention Device. This universal tubing-retention solution was designed to provide the best method for retaining flexible tubing on a barbed fitting, and it helps eliminate the risk of leaks and failures at the tubing connection point.
