BioPure 80L

Commercial cell therapy, finally manufacturable.

The 80L Vertical Wheel is the largest single-use cell therapy bioreactor available — engineered for cGMP commercial manufacturing of approved CAR-T, MSC, and iPSC-derived therapies at population scale.

Why this system

Built for the commercial scale stage.

01

Largest single-use cell therapy bioreactor available — 50 – 80 L working volume

02

Engineered for cGMP commercial allogeneic manufacturing

03

Full PAT array with Raman for real-time release-supporting data

04

Validated linear scale-up from 3L and 15L — no re-engineering

Why teams choose this platform

Five reasons it beats incubation-based minis.

Higher yield, lower cost

Precise DO control overcomes the gas-exchange limits of incubation-based culture — extending the growth phase and doubling viable cell yield per batch.

2× cell yield

Full automation at mini scale

Large-scale automation packaged for development: real-time pH, integrated gassing, recipe building, and remote monitoring from day one.

Recipe + remote

Closed-system operation

Closed sampling, supplementation, and perfusion-based medium exchange — sterility preserved, operator variability eliminated.

Closed sterile

Seamless path to scale

True scale-down model. The same Vertical Wheel hydrodynamics carry through 3L, 15L, and 80L GMP production with no re-engineering.

60 mL → 80 L

Purpose-built for cell therapy

Engineered for shear-sensitive cells: PSC aggregate homogeneity, MSC viability, CAR-T phenotype — preserved from PD through GMP.

Average delay to re-engineer a stirred-tank process

Industry averages compiled from BioProcess International, Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, and PBS Biotech case studies. The Vertical-Wheel® is engineered so a process locked at PBS-3 transfers to PBS-80 without re-validation.
