The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires operational parts and components for single-use bioreactors (Sartorius AMBR15 and AMBR250)
- BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
OPQR currently owns and operates a Sartorius ambr15 48-way microbioreactor system (Generation 1; Serial No. R3-0147) and an ambr250 modular system that enables parallel automated operation of eight (8) single-use mini-bioreactors (Serial No. 44a250m-CM1010). To date, these two systems have provided several significant benefits to OPQR research by reducing time, labor, and raw materials necessary compared to the operation of larger scale bioreactors that are manually assembled, cleaned, and sanitized. In addition to convenience, both systems greatly improve experimental throughput and robustness. Several OPQR projects investigating the impacts of manufacturing process changes on recombinant protein product quality, such as monoclonal antibodies, have utilized these instruments.
The current workload of these instruments requires that they always perform accurately, which requires frequent replacement of operational parts, components, and peripherals that are compatible with our ambr15 and ambr250 instruments. This requirement is for a supply of Ambr15 and Ambr250 parts and components that will support multiple research projects occurring this year.
