Repligen, Sartorius launch integrated system with Biostat STR

Sartorius and Repligen Corporation announced the launch of an integrated bioreactor system that incorporates Repligen XCell ATF upstream intensification technology into Sartorius’ Biostat STR bioreactor, simplifying intensified seed train and N perfusion implementation for biopharmaceutical manufacturers. The Biostat STR now contains a fully compatible embedded XCell ATF hardware and software module offering predefined advanced control recipes with integrated Process Analytical Technology. In addition, customers can better utilize facility space with a reduced equipment footprint from the incorporation of the XCell Controller hardware and software in the Biobrain automation platform, creating a single point of control for 50 L – 2000 L upstream intensification processes. The single, integrated controller provides easy integration into Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Distributed Control Systems.
