PBS Biotech: Air-Wheel Bioreactors

The PBS Biotech® Air-Wheel® Bioreactors represent the first truly innovative
approach to bioreactor design since the introduction of the “single-use” concept in the early 1990’s. This family of revolutionary bioreactors, designed by cell culture scientists and engineers, offers the most efficient and fully scalable solutions for broad cell culture applications. As a result, many of the problems and pain associated with the “rocker” and the “stirred-tank” designs, which are inherited from the chemical processing industry, are eliminated.
