An Innovative Design for Single-use Bioreactors
For many years cylindrical stainless steel tanks have been used in biopharmaceutical production.
The primary reason for the cylindrical shape was that it provided the mechanical stability required for high-pressure steam sterilization.
As single-use bioreactor vessels were developed, they adopted the same cylindrical shape as their stainless steel counterparts.
Pall recently traded the traditional geometry for the cube shape Allegro™ STR single-use bioreactors.
Their innovative cube shape offers unique features not possible in a cylindrical design.
This technical publication discusses the many advantages of a square bioreactor compared with the traditional cylindrical design.
