Eppendorf BioBLU Bioreactor 1c Single Use Optical pH Sterile Pack of 4 Bioreactors

The Eppendorf BioBLU® 1c Single-Use Bioreactor (Catalog Number 1386110400) is a small-scale, rigid-wall vessel designed for the cultivation of mammalian cells in suspension. This specific model is distinguished by its Optical pH configuration, which utilizes a pre-installed, non-invasive sensor spot to monitor acidity without the need for inserting a traditional glass probe.

Designed for process development and screening, it offers the following specifications:

Working Volume: 320 mL to 1.25 L (Total volume ~1.6 L). This size is ideal for small-scale experiments that require more control than shake flasks but less media than larger benchtop vessels.

Impeller: Features a single Pitched-Blade Impeller on a magnetic drive axis. This provides the gentle, low-shear mixing essential for sensitive cell lines like CHO or HEK293.

Sensor Technology: The Optical pH sensor spot is pre-calibrated and integrated into the vessel wall. It requires a compatible optical fiber cable (from the controller) to read the signal.

Sparging: Utilizes an Open Pipe sparger for gas delivery, which is the standard configuration for this vessel size to prevent foam accumulation in the smaller headspace.

Sterility: Supplied sterile and ready for use in a pack of 4.

This vessel is typically used with the BioFlo® 120 or BioFlo® 320 control stations (or the DASbox system with the correct adapter).

Expiration: 2022-04.
