Realization of Industrialization / Commercial Production / Scalability

Our BioReactors are characterized by the combination of the high-performance mixing impellers and mixing methods developed uniquely by SATAKE. Our BioReactors feature scalability that does not depend on the target scale. Scaling up mixers is an extremely difficult subject. Similarly, in the field of cell cultures too, we receive many queries regarding the fact that the controlled culture results obtained in the laboratory scale cannot be achieved in the production scale. This is because the conditions in the commercial production machines, the action of the fluid in the culture tank, and the physical adaptation are different from the BioReactors used in the laboratory in the research stage. When living beings are in question, the results cannot be achieved simply by the Pv value (energy consumption per unit volume).   The laboratory machines used for experiments, and the cell culture measures aiming at commercial production require the development of consistent dedicated devices. Our BioReactors exhibit their capability with the purpose of examining commercial production rather than for experimental use. We also receive contracted culture tank numerical calculations and contracted examination cell culture. Please see the page on Solutions.

All-in-one Scale Up Examination Kit

We provide the “All-in-one Scale Up Kit” of our company that undertakes not only laboratory experiments, but also industrialization and commercial production. A scale-up of 500 ml to 10 l is possible with the standard kit, and as an option, a scale-up of up to 50 l can be examined. Note that depending on the demands of the customer, several variations of these configurations are possible. Please contact us. After deciding the specifications, we will customize the equipment and quote you the price. Please be sure to examine the all-in-one scale-up kit that is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the customer.

Animal cell BioReactor MRF Reactor

Animal cell BioReactor MRF Reactor

The MRF reactor is a BioReactor for laboratory use that aim at actual production and scaling up. In addition to a “Simple shape with excellent cleaning ability” that is important for the actual equipment, the “MR210Bio impeller used exclusively for cell culture” that exhibits excellent mixing and homogenizing performance is provided as a standard, and therefore, similar culture results as during laboratory experiments can be reproduced during scale-up too. Moreover, fluid surface fluctuation (fed-batch culture) is supported, because of which the same mixing performance is exhibited no matter how much the liquid volume. A wide range of liquid volumes from small volumes like 1.5 L to large volumes of 20,000 l can be supported.
With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 10α”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed.

Animal cell BioReactor VMF Reactor

The VMF reactor is a vertical reciprocating motion type next-generation reciprocating mixer for cell culture that combines together excellent blending performance and gentle mixing. Unlike the general rotating type, severe shear stress control is possible. Moreover, a “completely enclosed structure” that does not require a complex rotating-axis seal mechanism is implemented. There is no threat of contamination or leakage, and it has a high level of sterility and cleanliness.

With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 10α”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed. Through customization, up to eight machines in series are supported.

BioReactor VerSus Reactor

The VerSus reactor is a new and innovative BioReactor for animal cell culture in which the technology of “SPG membrane sparger*” by which micro-bubbles with extremely high homogeneity can be generated is fused with a VMF reactor. Through an efficient oxygen supply by the SPG membrane sparger, oxygen can be supplied efficiently without putting stress on the animal cells in the culture tank. Also, due to a decline in the DO air flow rate, a foam layer can be prevented.

With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 10α”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed.

Single-use BioReactor

The VMF50L/200L-SUB is a single-use BioReactor for commercial production. A lineup of 50 l to 200 l (proposed to be developed up to 1000 l) is available, and single-use hard bottle/bag that supports sterilization validation is adopted. Since this is a locally-manufactured product, we guarantee just-in-time supply in small lots. With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 200”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed.

3D floating iPS cell differentiation induction BioReactor HiD 4 × 4 Reactor

3D floating iPS cell differentiation induction
BioReactor HiD 4 × 4 Reactor

The HiD 4 × 4 Reactor is the world’s first “Single-use mixer for 3D floating cell cultures” used exclusively for iPS cell differentiation induction. A BioReactor that achieves a high-volume production of uniform and homogeneous iPS cells is indispensable not only in regenerative medicine, but also in the “Use of human iPS cells in drug development” that aims at industrialization and commercial production. By promoting joint research and development with excellent research institutes or companies in Japan, we have succeeded in commercialization an iPS cell differentiation induction BioReactor for the first time in the world. 4, 8, 12, and 16 (or even more) such BioReactors can be controlled in a consolidated manner, and these are also best suited for screening. Moreover, we have also taken into consideration the adaptation to ES cells while performing development. With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 02”, changes in various parameters including PI control, and production control in accordance with the purpose can be performed.

Microbial culture / Plant culture HS Turbine

Super-mix HS100 Turbine

Super-mix HS100 Turbine
The HS100 turbine is a mixing impeller best suited for gas – liquid mixing. We separately took into consideration the liquid fluidizing action of the impeller and the shearing and destructive actions in a strong discharge field, and examined the flow condition for effectively achieving these actions. The flow is concentrated by using the lifting force of the impeller with low power, and strong shearing and destructive actions are produced by utilizing the pressure gradient and fluctuation in the discharge field. Through this action, high gas absorption performance and the required OTR are achieved. The highest performance capacity is 300 kl.
Super-mix HS124ND, 134ND Turbine
The HS124ND and HS134ND are turbine impellers having a high gas absorption performance that have been developed to further improve the gas absorption performance. Both the upper and lower blades have an effective discharge action that helps achieve an even higher gas absorption performance and the required OTR. The highest performance capacity is 200 kl.

SATAKE Sparger
SATAKE Sparger examines the discharge direction of the gas such that the flowing gas passes through the vicinity of the impeller, which is the shearing field. Moreover, a stationary impeller is installed in the ring, and by increasing the gradient of fluid flow, the shearing and destructive actions are improved. In addition, the stationary impeller also strengthens the discharge action. As a result of these actions, gas can be effectively distributed.
