This unit consists of:
This controller works with the Able Bioreactor Magnetic Stir System Base (5 mL; Cat. No. ABBWBP05N0S-6) or the Able Bioreactor Stir System Base (30 mL, 100 mL: Cat. No. ABBWBP03N0S-6) to provide consistent, heat-free stirring of disposable bioreactors.
Growth of iPS cells in spheroid suspension culture (3D) closely resemble embryoid body structures naturally formed by embryonic stem cells. This 3D growth format offers improved yield, viability and high efficiency for the expansion of human iPS stem cells and differentiation in a cost-effective format. The ABLE 3D Magnetic Stir and Disposable Bioreactor System enables stem cell researchers to utilize a disposable bioreactor vessels for cell culturing or production of up to 5 × 107 cells per 30 mL vessel, equivalent to approximately ten 10 cm plates.
The ABLE 3D System has only two components; a six-channel magnetic stirrer platform (left), an electrical controller unit (right). The system is placed inside a CO2 cell culture incubator allowing the temperature, humidity and gas controls to be passively managed. The controller unit attaches magnetically to the outside of the incubator and the two system components are connected via a cable (not shown).
