Sartorius Biostat B-DCU 2-Fold Single-Use Bioreactor System for Parallel Cell Culture

The Sartorius Biostat B-DCU 2-Fold Bioreactor System is a bench-top, parallel single-use bioreactor platform designed for small-scale bioprocessing in biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical development. It supports two independent 1–10 L stirred tank bioreactors (UniVessel SU) equipped with integrated sensors and control modules for precise temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and agitation management.

Key technical features include:

• Dual fermentation bioreactor stations allowing simultaneous, independent culture runs of mammalian or microbial cells.
• Agitation range: 20–2000 rpm with direct drive coupling, optimized for 2 L single-use vessels at 20–400 rpm.
• Temperature control via external 220 W heating blankets for consistent thermal conditions essential in cell culture expansion and protein expression workflows.
• Integrated additive flow gas system controlling up to four gases (Air, O2, N2, CO2) with mass flow controllers (MFCs) delivering precise gas mixing critical in synthetic biology and stem cell cultivation.
• Four peristaltic pumps with adjustable flow rates for base, acid, and two substrate feeds supporting real-time media and reagent addition essential in bioprocess optimization.
• Digital display with real-time monitoring facilitates automated control to maintain optimal bioprocess parameters, enhancing reproducibility in monoclonal antibody production and vaccine development.
• Includes pH, DO, and temperature sensors, UniVessel SU safety valves, and safety valve stations for sterile, closed-system operation.
• Compact footprint suitable for laboratory benchtop, enabling integration into diverse R&D environments focusing on biomanufacturing and gene editing studies.

This system is widely used in biotechnology applications including CHO cell cultivation, stem cell expansion, and protein expression studies, making it an essential instrument for molecular cloning workflows and process development in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Note: Consumables such as single-use vessels are not included and require separate procurement.

The Biostat B-DCU system comes fully serviced, tested for agitation motor performance, sensor calibration, pump operation, and gas mixing accuracy, with warranty and technical sales consultation support available, ensuring reliable deployment in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering research.

This pre-owned system enables research laboratories to access advanced parallel bioprocess control technology with cost efficiency while maintaining stringent performance standards crucial for bioprocess development and quality control workflows.
