Environmentally Controlled Plant Cell Culture Bioreactor

As the biopharmaceutical/nutraceutical industry continues to grow, increased attention has lately been devoted to the production of health-promoting secondary compounds using plant cell culture techniques. The efforts to increase the productivity by various means have had limited success. This is at least in part due to the lack of suitable technologies for such commercial scale applications. WCSAR has developed a state-of-the-art bioreactor for enhanced biosynthesis of commercial interest bioactive compounds. The bioreactor offers computer control of chamber temperature, photo treatment, multiple motions, gas exchange, and low shear stress. By using an optimal combination of these parameters, it can provide a desired condition for cell culture growth, and therefore, can significantly increase productivity.
