The Kühner Rack-Shaker SBM/SS-X is a space saving shaker system designed for environmental rooms, laboratories and corridors. It is an extendable rack system with integrated shaking units made of stainless steel. Size and configuration can be altered at any given time.
Flexible, integrated system
Up to four shaking units (SS-X) can be incorporated into a single rack. The robustly built rack system ensures the shaking units run quietly. The rack system is designed and constructed for maximum flexibility, can be adapted to fit almost any room, and is easily extended. The configuration of the shaking units can be altered at any time with little effort. Each shaking unit is fitted with a speed controller and operates independently. Users are able to choose either orbital or linear motion as well as a suitable shaking diameter for each unit.
Ideal solution for temperature controlled rooms
The rack system is suitable for use in temperature controlled rooms. Racks and shaking units are made of stainless steel with hermetically sealed electronic parts.
Low energy consumption – low heat generation
The Kühner drive generates minimal heat which is an important factor when using the rack system in temperature controlled rooms.

Are you screening using large numbers of 50ml bioreactors (TPP, Falcon tubes etc.)? Then our new EPFL-table is the ideal solution. This table accepts tube holders, each with a capacity of 24 x 50ml tubes. Each tube holder has its own clamp handle allowing it to be easily taken out of the incubator shaker and put on a clean bench while the other tubes keep on shaking. It’s also possible to shake microtiter plates on the EPFL-table, using Duetz 4-place coverclamps. If you have a Kuhner F-size tray (800 x 420mm), you can also clamp that on the table instead of individual holders.

The BioChem-VacuuCenter BVC basic is designed for connection to an existing external vacuum source like a diaphragm pump or a vacuum network (e.g., VACUU•LAN®) and does not require electric power. The chemical-resistant mechanical vacuum controller always ensures an optimal operating vacuum. The controller opens only when needed thus limiting the gas load on the vacuum source. The evaporation of collected liquid is minimized. The inlet tubing integrated in the bottle head reduces aerosol and foam formation and ensures a long service life of the hydrophobic protection filter. The aspiration system is available either as BVC basic with 4l PP bottle or as BVC basic G with 2l coated borosilicate glass bottle.

Orbital shaken bioreactor for single-use bags

The SB50-X is an orbital shaken bioreactor for the cultivation of human, mammalian and plant cells in a single-use bag. A working volume from 15 litres up to 50 litres for the SB50-X ensures easy scale-up from microtiter plates to shaking flasks and all the way up to 200 litres. The SB50-X can be used in research, process development or production.
The SB50-X was developed and tested in collaboration with ExcellGene SA (Monthey, Switzerland) and the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland).

Performance characteristics

• Large capacity (50L working volume)

• Single use bioreactor system

• Cultivation of human, mammalian and plant cells

• Fast, simple set up

• Easy scale-up

• Online measurement of pH and DO

Single-use bag for fast and simple set up
The cylindrical vessel accepts a single-use bag. This bag requires no additional mixing device, enables quick set up times and eliminates elaborate cleaning and sterilising procedures. Various ports are incorporated to allow feeding, inoculation, harvesting and sampling. The bag has built in optical sensors for pH and DO.

Orbital motion
The orbital motion of the SB50-X ensures efficient liquid mixing. It allows high oxygen transfer rates with low shear forces. Mechanical stress on the cells is reduced thanks to bubble-free surface gassing with almost no frothing. This motion is particularly suitable for microcarrier cultivation. The SB50-X uses the unique Kuhner direct drive which provides accurate control of the orbital speed.

Trouble free scale-up
The SB50-X fills a gap in the scale-up chain from microtiter plates all the way up to 200 litres. The consistent hydro-dynamics of shaken bioreactors provide reproducible cultivation conditions throughout the volume range. The culture from the SB50-X can also serve as preculture or inoculum for the SB200-X.

Control unit and online measurement
The bespoke control unit, designed by Kuhner, uses the latest touch-screen technology and Kuhner Insight software for data recording, calibration, programming and controlling. Technical controls for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance are built into the software.
The SB50-X can be heated or cooled. Temperature ramps are easily programmed and processed.
Online measurement of each parameter (dissolved oxygen and pH-value in the medium) is available.

Pumping system
The control unit incorporates two small and one big peristaltic pump. This enables simple regulation of the pH value, feeding and the transfer of the culture media (scale-up or processing).

Gas mixing
The SB50-X has an integrated gas mixing device (FlowCon).
Whether stabilizing the pH with CO2, or preventing low dissolved oxygen concentrations, the gas mixer meets all user needs. Four mass flow controllers ensure highly accurate and reproducible gas mixing. An integrated pressure sensor prevents over pressure in the bioreactor by reducing the gas flow in the first step (1. limit) and shutting off the gas flow in the second step (2. limit). Step limits can be freely programmed by the user. Integrated air filters and back pressure valves ensure interference free and long operating times for the FlowCon.

Filter heater
A height adjustable filter heater, with up to two exhaust filters, is installed above the cylindrical vessel. Special emphasis has been placed on developing a user friendly unit. The filter heater combats any water vapour condensation in the outlet air which might cause the membranes to block. The temperature is monitored and controlled by Kuhner Insight software.
