DASbox® Mini Bioreactor System
Product Information
The DASbox Mini Bioreactor System is a parallel bioreactor system for research and process development in small working volumes. It can operate up to 24 glass or BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors in parallel and is suitable for microbial fermentation and cell culture, including the cultivation of stem cells. With working volumes from 60 mL to 250 mL it is an optimal tool for efficient process development, Design of Experiments (DoE) approaches, and scale-down applications.You will find additional download material at the bottom of this page

Product Information
The DASbox Mini Bioreactor System enables highly efficient process development by allowing precise control of critical process parameters, rapid comparison of numerous experimental conditions, reduction of medium costs, and optimal utilization of all generated data.
• Small working volumes save resources.
• Parallel operation of up to 24 bioreactors saves time and space and improves reproducibility.
• Easily convertible from single-use to reusable bioreactors and vice versa.
• Enables precise monitoring and control of critical process parameters, as well as the implementation of tailored feedback loops, feeding strategies and other features.
• Seamless integration with the Bioprocess Autosampler allows for automated sampling 24/7 to gain complete datasets.
• Connects to BioNsight® cloud software for remote process monitoring and simple, remote analysis of all data sets to make informed decisions.
Operate small bioreactors in parallel
• The DASbox Mini Bioreactor System is designed as a 4-fold system that is expandable to up to 24 parallel operating bioreactors.
• A 24-fold DASbox system takes up only 1.8 m (6 ft) of bench space. This corresponds to 7.5 cm (3 in) per vessel.
• The setpoints, control strategies, and inoculation time of each bioreactor can be controlled individually from one software installation. Like this, multiple experimental conditions can be tested in parallel, for example in a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach.
Automate bioprocess sampling
• The DASbox system can be seamlessly integrated with the Bioprocess Autosampler, which takes samples from multiple bioreactors 24/7 in short and regular intervals and stores them tempered for later analysis.
• The Bioprocess Autosampler can be installed with new as well as retrofitted to existing bioreactor control systems.
Cultivate various cell types, including stem cells
• The DASbox is a unique mini bioreactor system suitable for microbial and cell culture as well as stem cell applications.
• Glass and single-use bioreactor variants are available, which are optimized to support the special needs of stem cells, such as low-shear mixing and aggregate formation.
