Thermo Scientific HyPerforma Rocker Wave Bioreactor with Top Cover

The Thermo Scientific HyPerforma Rocker Bioreactor is a high-performance, single-use cell culture system designed for the gentle mixing and aeration of sensitive biological cultures. This rocker system utilizes a pivot-motion rocking action to create waves within a disposable BioProcess Container (BPC), providing efficient mass transfer and oxygenation without the high-shear stress associated with traditional stirred-tank bioreactors. This specific configuration includes the specialized top cover, which is essential for maintaining thermal stability and protecting light-sensitive media during processing.

Technical Performance and Design

• Rocking Motion Control: Features a precise rocking angle and speed control system that allows for the customization of wave dynamics, ensuring optimal conditions for a variety of cell lines including CHO, HEK293, and insect cells.
• Integrated Heating: The rocker base is equipped with a high-accuracy heating plate that provides uniform temperature distribution across the surface of the bag, regulated by an advanced internal controller.
• Top Cover Protection: The included top cover serves as a thermal insulator to improve temperature uniformity and acts as a light shield for photosensitive components in the media.
• Ease of Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with HyPerforma G3 Lab Controllers or other standard laboratory automation platforms for full monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature.
