Eppendorf Fibra-Cel® Disks, 250 g

Fibra-Cel® Disks, 250 g

Fibra-Cel is a solid support growth matrix for mammalian, animal, and insect cells, used predominantly for production of secreted products such as recombinant proteins and viruses. Fibra-Cel enables sustained long-term periods of high-density growth in perfusion, without danger of clogging; and eliminates the need for cell filtration to separate cells from the end product.

Features

• Low pressure drop across the bed of Fibra-Cel minimizes the variability and maintains a global viability of cells over the entire bed
• High surface-to-volume ratios increases the total biomass that can be maintained in the bioreactor greatly enhancing production of cellular products
• Entrapped cells are shielded from the turbulence and are less susceptible to shear forces from impeller blades and sparger gas bubbles
• Higher mass transfer of nutrients and oxygen versus standard microcarrier systems
• Fibra-Cel is manufactured and tested according to strict quality guidelines
• Composed of USP Class VI polypropylene and polyester non-woven fiber
