30L Airlift Bioreactor

30L Cell Culture Airlift Bioreactor for Mammalian & Suspension Cell Culture

Bailun’s 30L Cell Culture Airlift Bioreactor is designed for laboratory and pilot-scale mammalian cell culture, suspension cell cultivation, and low-shear bioprocess applications. Using advanced airlift circulation technology instead of traditional mechanical agitation, the system provides gentle mixing, efficient oxygen transfer, and stable cultivation conditions for sensitive biological cultures.

The 30L airlift bioreactor is widely used in biopharmaceutical research, vaccine development, recombinant protein production, stem cell research, and pilot-scale cell culture process development.

Applications of 30L Cell Culture Airlift Bioreactor

The 30L cell culture airlift bioreactor is suitable for a wide range of laboratory and pilot-scale applications, including:

• Mammalian Cell Culture

• Suspension Cell Culture

• Hybridoma Cell Culture

• Stem Cell Research

• Recombinant Protein Expression

• Vaccine Research

• Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Production

• Cell Therapy Research

• Microalgae Cultivation

• Pilot-Scale Bioprocess Development

The low-shear cultivation environment makes the system ideal for sensitive mammalian and suspension cells.

Advantages of Airlift Cell Culture Technology

Low Shear Stress Cultivation

Traditional stirred-tank systems may generate excessive shear force that damages delicate cells. The airlift circulation system minimizes turbulence and protects biological cultures.

Benefits include:

• Improved cell viability

• Reduced shear damage

• Stable suspension conditions

• Better culture consistency

• Enhanced product yield

Ideal for mammalian cells, hybridoma cells, stem cells, and other shear-sensitive cultures.

Efficient Oxygen Transfer Performance

The optimized airlift structure improves gas-liquid mass transfer and oxygen distribution throughout the vessel.

Advantages include:

• High oxygen transfer efficiency

• Uniform dissolved oxygen distribution

• Enhanced nutrient circulation

• Stable cell growth conditions

This helps improve biomass productivity and process performance.

Gentle Mixing Without Mechanical Agitation

The airlift system uses gas circulation instead of high-speed impellers to achieve mixing and oxygen transfer.

Benefits include:

• Lower turbulence

• Reduced mechanical stress

• Minimal foam formation

• Stable culture environment

This makes the system highly suitable for suspension cell culture applications.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Without large mechanical agitators, the system consumes less energy and generates less heat during operation.

Benefits include:

• Lower operating costs

• Reduced maintenance requirements

• Minimal heat accumulation

• Simplified operation

This makes the system suitable for continuous laboratory and pilot-scale operation.
