Benefits

Reduce costs per run by up to 60%1

Reach cost-effective bioprocess development with this small-scale, low-footprint scale-X™ nexo bioreactor system. Developed for early-stage screening and research, the bioreactor allows cells to grow on a surface of 0,5 m2 in a volume of only 75mL. Such miniaturization reduces the consumption of media, reagents, and seed-train efforts. Combined with high-value consumables, this results in significantly lower cost per run.1

Accelerate your path to market with seamless scalability

Develop your bioprocess effortlessly from research to commercial manufacturing in the same platform. Scalable by design, the technology enables quick transition between scale-X nexo (0,5 m²), scale-X carbo (10-30 m²) and scale-X nitro (200-600 m²) bioreactors. By maintaining homogeneous cell distribution, high cell density and productivity across scales, accelerate time to market with fewer runs, reduced time and minimized effort.

Rely on ready-to-use consumables for struggle-free operations

Eliminate preparation steps while minimizing contamination risk thanks to gamma-irradiated, single-use consumables. The intuitive design of the manifolds ensures rapid set-up and quick-start of your experiments. Liquid sampling and easy retrieval of the fixed-bed enable monitoring and precise cell counting, ensuring stress-free R&D and creating the basis for a process without surprises.
