There are many different types of bioreactors available in the market today and choosing the right bioreactor system for cells is crucial for cell culture success. The choice of bioreactor system to use highly depend on the type of cells to be produced, the desired product, the process of the cell culture, and the product density. Esco Healthcare offers different types of bioreactors, suited for different types of cells, applications, and scales.
Tide Motion Bioreactors
This type of bioreactor is specific for adherent cells to culture them in an extremely low shear stress environment. The proprietary “Tide Motion” principle is comparable to the gentle upward and downward movement of the culture medium in the vessel. The alternate exposure provides sufficient nutrient and oxygen consumption during cell culture. As adherent cells are surface dependent, these cells can attach to a robust geometrically designed macroporous carrier to mimic its in vivo state as it grows.

- Linearly scalable from bench to manufacturing scale
- Compact design for saving critical laboratory space
- Dual oxygenation feature
- Run in normal or hypoxic conditions
- Process Modes:
- 100% Media Exchange
- Batch
- Fed-Batch
- Perfusion
CelXrocker
CelXrocker is used for process optimization in using 3D macroporous carriers in T-flasks. The rocker provides gentle side-to-side rocking motion for mixing in culture, flasks, tubes, and dishes. The rocker is designed to conveniently fit in most CO2 incubators and refrigerators; thereby, set-up or assay can be placed in a controlled environment.
CelCradle
The CelCradle system is a bench-scale, disposable bioreactor capable of high-density cell culture for protein expression, virus, and monoclonal antibody production. It is designed based on the concept of the bellow-induced intermittent flow of culture medium and air through macroporous matrices, where cells reside.
TideXcell
TideXcell bioreactor system is the extended large-scale system of the laboratory scale CelCradle® bioreactor system. In this system, the matrix vessel and the mixing vessel are separated to aid in the 100% medium exchange requirements of the user. It is also a combination technology equipped with its own harvester for high product yield after every culture.
