The CELLMAX DUO System features a two position pump station and supporting media bottle holders.
The system accommodates two CellMax Hollow Fiber Bioreactors and media bottles allowing two
independent cell cultures to be grown simultaneously. The system is compact and can be used
in standard humidified, temperature controlled CO2 incubators.
All surfaces can be wiped down with a dilute alcohol solution for easy transfer into standard tissue culture hoods.
The pump operates by depressing the tubing of each hollow fiber bioreactor which causes the
culture media to flow from the media bottles and circulate through the bioreactors.
This mode of action reduces the risk of particulates shedding from the tubing wall and
interfering with cell growth. The silicone bioreactor tubing is gas permeable which
allows CO2 to diffuse out, maintaining the pH of
the culture media. The Cellmax Duo system design allows adjustable flow rates from
5-120 mL/min for each bioreactor. The special push bar design enables the users
to start a culture at a low flow rate at one pump station, while maintaining a high
flow rate on the opposite pump station. An optional perfusion kit gives the
user the ability to create recirculation flow in the Extra Capillary Space
(ECS) reducing micro environmental conditions which maybe harmful to the cell cultures.
A detachable power cord links the pump base to a peripheral Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
The ECU has a magnetized rear surface for easy attachment to the outside surface of an
incubator. The ECU contains an 11 position variable speed potentiometer for flow rate control.
