single-use bioprocessing

Améliorez votre rendement avec la centrifugeuse à usage unique

  • Récupération de produits avec un rendement avéré jusqu'à 99%
  • Récolte de 100 à 3 000 litres de culture cellulaire
  • Traitement de densités cellulaires très élevées
  • Gain de temps et de productivité grâce à l'absence de nettoyage
  • Economisez de 50 à 80% d'eau, d'énergie et de produits de nettoyage par rapport aux méthodes à filtres

Les centrifugeuses pour laboratoire à système "single use" CultureOne vous permettent de valoriser au mieux les produits récoltés : nos séparateurs à haute vitesse à assiettes sont plus efficaces que les autres technologies à usage unique, garantissant des rendements plus élevés allant jusqu'à 99%.

La technologie Hermetic Design est particulièrement bien adaptée aux phases délicates : elle réduit la lyse cellulaire et évite la formation de mousse, facilitant la purification en aval. Nos performances de séparation supérieures permettent d'obtenir un centrifugat clair avec une très faible teneur en solides. Cela réduit la nécessité d'une filtration secondaire, réduisant la consommation énergétique. 

Les avantages de l'usage unique et connecté

Facile à installer et à retirer, le système d'assiette jetable breveté Spinsert™ supprime l'étape de nettoyage ou de stérilisation autoclave : vous changez vos lots plus rapidement, et vous réalisez des économies d'eau et d'énergie considérables.

Stérile, le bol à usage unique élimine le risque de contamination croisée entre les batchs, gage de sécurité accrue pour votre laboratoire.

Les séparateurs CultureOne s'utilisent seuls ou connectés à un système centralisé. L'automatisation et la connectivité permettent une intégrité totale des données, dans le respect de la norme 21 CFR Part 11.

Main facts about CultureOne™ 

cultureone imageImproving yields at every scale 

 The CultureOne separation platform is designed to maximize the potential of every cell culture, delivering unparalleled yields, ensuring product quality with utmost security, and minimizing additional lysis. The range ensures consistent performance throughout the transition from R&D to full-scale production, allowing for seamless scalability.

Developed with the industry to meet the most challenging demands

The CultureOne separation system was developed in close collaboration with leading biopharmaceutical manufacturers. Its unique performance has been verified in a wide range of processes to ensure it can meet ever-changing demands. 



Less waste in single-use processing

With CultureOne separators, you can reduce the amount of water, chemicals, and plastic consumables required for single-use biopharma processing by 50 to 80%. The result is lower costs and added sustainability.

Are you considering single-use technology for biopharmaceutical manufacturing?


Why switch to single-use processing? 

A single-use separation system secures patient safety by eliminating the risk of cross-contamination between batches. Single-use processing also enables a reduced footprint and increased flexibility, with no need for sterilization: empowering manufacturers to bring new treatments to market faster than ever before.

A better harvest with centrifugal separation
 

Many single-use harvesting systems cannot efficiently separate high-density cell cultures. The resulting product loss dramatically impacts the productivity and profitability of biopharmaceutical operations. CultureOne overcomes this problem by combining high-efficiency centrifugal separation with secure and convenient single-use processing.

With Alfa Laval, you can safely migrate from our stainless-steel separators to our single-use separators with the CultureOne range. Whether you need a pilot plant or GMP production, we have a range that covers all your needs in single-use cell harvesting. 

Existing single-use technologies with filters have reached limits due to increased batch sizes and cell densities. Alfa Laval's CultureOne range reduces the need for filters by up to 50-80%, offering a scalable solution that continues to minimize the ecological footprint even as demands grow. This means you can save money, resources, and waste material with the CultureOne. 

The CultureOne machine is a small, stand-alone, and easy to setup device that can help you do experiments in almost any environment. We have a great cooperation with universities and national innovation initiatives, like GeneNova. 

How does CultureOne ensure data integrity and connectivity?

You can choose between standalone or centralized system, with suitable levels for monitor and control. You can enjoy open software, which ensures full accessibility to connect data historian or DCS. You can develop customized software to run on platforms. You can also achieve data integrity with complete compliance 21 CFR Part 11. 

What makes CultureOne a good choice for reducing water use, energy use, and cleaning chemicals?

Traditional pharmaceutical production requires significant water and chemicals for cleanliness. Single-use systems reduce these needs but still require utility water and chemicals. The CultureOne range eliminates the need for flushing and chemicals, reducing utility fluid usage and waste material by up to 80%. This makes CultureOne an efficient and environmentally friendly choice.

CultureOne can handle large batches and high cell densities. This range offers you an adaptable high-capacity solution that can process over 200 million cells per milliliter and up to 700 liters per hour. This means you can save time and money as you scale up your biopharma process.

The Alfa Laval CultureOne centrifuge range can make your validation, qualification and GMP production easier. You can get Alfa Laval’s expert support, standardized commissioning tests, and mechanical training and commissioning. 

How does CultureOne contribute to real scalability in biopharma processing?

When Alfa Laval customers examine harvest techniques, scalability across the product range is crucial.
