RPF incidental of work

Description

Fermenters are ideal tools for scaling up any cell-based protein production process, offering precise control over critical parameters such as pH, agitation, and dissolved oxygen levels. They also enable the cultivation of high cell densities, essential for maximising yield and maintaining product quality.

Enhance process performance
For processes requiring high cell density, the RPF team specialises in fed-batch cultures, achieving up to 10-fold increases in production yields compared to standard shake flasks.

Ensure superior protein quality
When protein solubility is a concern, tight temperature control during the induction phase is critical. Fermenters equipped with efficient cooling systems can rapidly reduce temperature, ensuring optimal conditions for protein expression and solubility.

Customised solutions for your research
The RPF provides fermenters ranging from 2L to 15L, tailored to meet the diverse requirements of your research projects. Let our expertise in fermentation help you achieve your production goals with confidence.
