Avid Bioservices, Inc.
Bioreactors and Equipment


The cGMP stirred tank bioreactors used at Avid Bioservices are computer controlled which allows us to monitor and maintain key growth and productivity parameters throughout the run. Once a run is completed, the system can store or print this documentation for inclusion in the batch record.

 



Our state-of-the-art bioreactors were specifically designed for mammalian cell culture, not converted microbial systems. Our conveniently sized units have maximum working volumes of:

100L

Our Water for Injection (WFI) is provided in-house via a Finn/Aqua RO/DI system which provides treated water to a Finn/Aqua Multi-Effect Still feeding into a stainless steel system composed of a 3,600L SS storage tank and is continuously circulated through a loop with strategically placed drop points and the loop temperature is maintained at >80°C. The RO/DI system feeds the clean steam generator that in turn feeds steam to the bioreactors for sterilization and temperature control. The WFI is used for many purposes including: reconstitution of powder cell culture media, cleaning of equipment and for processes related to bioreactors and the purification stream.

Other key equipment include:
  • Getinge Double Door Autoclave
  • Gruenberg Double Door Oven
  • Multi Effect Hot Loop WFI System
  • Nova 400 Bioanalyzers
