Are Your Bioreactors Keeping Up with Your CDMOs/CROs Pace?
Discover how Kuhner’s Orbital Shaken Bioreactors redefine performance, scalability, and reliability for fast-moving CDMO/CRO labs.
Scaling Innovation at CRO-Speed
In every Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and Contract Research Organization (CRO) lab, pressure is a constant—shorter timelines, small and large batch sizes, and high variability across projects. Despite these challenges, results must remain clean, consistent, and fast.
Mammalian cells like CHO, HEK293, or Sf9 are at the heart of these workflows, producing monoclonal antibodies, viral vectors, and more.
Problems with Traditional Bioreactors
Stirred-tank bioreactors, originally designed for manufacturing scale, fall short in CDMO/CRO settings:
- Impellers damage delicate mammalian cells.
- Foaming and bubbles disrupt oxygen transfer and cell viability.
- Long cleaning cycles and frequent mechanical failures increase downtime.
- Fixed configurations limit adaptability across projects.
Kuhner’s OSBs: A Game-Changer
Kuhner’s Orbital Shaken Bioreactors (OSBs) are engineered specifically for CDMO/CRO needs—offering frictionless, maintenance-free operation with direct drive technology (no belts or oil).
- Gentle orbital shaking: Promotes natural cell suspension
- Zero mechanical breakdowns: Reliable uptime
- Linear scale-up: From lab to pilot without redesign
- No impellers or spargers: Protects cell viability
Why CDMOs/CROs Are Switching to Kuhner
- Fast project transitions without re-engineering equipment
- Simple plug-and-play setup with easy sensor integration
- Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, audit trails, and EBRs
- Local, responsive support from Biogentek
It’s not just about upgrading hardware—it’s about empowering your team and protecting your process.
The Kuhner Edge: Designed for Speed and Scale
Kuhner builds bioreactors from the ground up for single-use applications, mammalian cells, and modern lab needs.
- Single-use bag systems reduce cleaning and turnaround
- Magnetic drive for sterile, contamination-free culture
- Full flexibility for rapidly changing CDMO pipelines
Conclusion
Kuhner’s OSBs are more than bioreactors—they're a strategic solution for CROs and CDMOs navigating tight deadlines and diverse workflows. Stop retrofitting outdated systems. Choose a platform engineered to match your pace and performance.
