Scalability validation, oxygen transfer (kLa) and power input (P/V)

Volumetric Mass Transfer Coefficient (kLa)

The volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) was measured at varying tip speeds, using a constant aeration rate of 0.10 vvm (air) in PBS at 37 °C to assess oxygen transfer efficiency. Results demonstrated consistent scalability across bioreactor sizes:

At lower tip speeds (0.3 m/s), kLa values were comparable across all scales (0.3-0.6 h-1).

At increased tip speeds (1.8 m/s), the STR300 exhibited the highest kLa (25.3 h-1), while the STR50 and SU 0.5L reactors showed the lowest values (18.0-19.0 h-1).

This indicates suitable oxygen transfer rates (>7 h-1) were achieved across all bioreactor scales, enabling efficient cell cultivation.

Power Input per Volume (P/V)

Power input per volume, vital for mixing and gas dispersion, was analyzed across varying tip speeds:

At lower agitation speeds (0.3 m/s), the SU 0.5L reactor required significantly higher power input (1514 W/m3) compared to larger reactors (1-3 W/m3).

At higher speeds (1.8 m/s), power input dramatically increased for the SU 0.5L system (326,925 W/m3), whereas larger scales (STR1000, STR300, STR50, and STR30) showed lower and comparable power inputs (261-552 W/m3).

This trend indicates a scalable power input strategy, ensuring sufficient agitation for effective cell culture at larger scales without excessive energy consumption.

Our single-use bioreactors deliver the oxygen-transfer and mixing performance required for today’s cell-culture processes. They are engineered to support high-cell-density CHO applications while keeping critical parameters on setpoint. The same design principles apply from development vessels to larger units, making scale-up direct and predictable.
