Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ Single-Use Fermentor Systems, 30 L, Jacketed, AC Motor, with 2 position vent filter bracket and 120 VAC electrical box

The 30 L Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ S.U.F., jacketed, AC Motor, with 2 position vent filter bracket and 120VAC electrical box, is designed to provide the users with enhanced functionality, ease of use, and efficiency for microbial fermentation. The HyPerforma S.U.F. system consists of a fermentor tank and Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ S.U.F. BioProcess Container (BPC). The system has a 5:1 turndown ratio, which means it can run at a low 6 L working volume. The HyPerforma S.U.F. maintains traditional stirred-tank fermentation design principles, including specific height-to-diameter ratios (3:1), top-driven impeller location that deliver optimum cell viability, and performance and scalability from process development through production.

Features

• The S.U.F. is a fully functional fermentor vessel including single-use sterile contact surfaces for mixing, venting, sparging and temperature sensing. Additional ports are included to allow choice of aseptic connections for filling, emptying and sampling.
• Unique proprietary mixing system enables conventional overhead mixing while maintaining sterility and integrity of the S.U.F. BPC.
• Minimized vessel footprint and reduced hold-up volumes.
• Simplified bag loading with a front access door.
• Tank includes baffles that enhance mixing.
• Side and bottom jacket for effective heat transfer.
• Cable management system offers greater organization for electrical cables, tubing and line sets.
• Dedicated adjustable tool holder keeps necessary tools available for convenience.
• BPC utilizes three Rushton-style impellers and sparger configuration with a proprietary exhaust management system.
• State-of-the-art foam sensor that helps to prevent exhaust filter failure.

Applications of the Thermo Scientific HyPerforma S.U.F. include:

• Proven for various microbial cultures of Pichia, Bacillus and others.
• Batch and fed-batch cultures.
