Perfusion Systems: Single-Use vs Reusable Setup
If you run perfusion for cultivated meat, the setup choice usually comes down to one question: where do you want the main burden to sit - in disposable flow paths...
IKA is a German manufacturer of laboratory and process technology, founded in 1910 and headquartered in Staufen. With over a century of engineering expertise, the company supplies mixing, temperature control, and bioprocessing equipment to research and industrial users worldwide. Its HABITAT research bioreactor is a benchtop system combining bioreactor, fermenter, and photobioreactor functions in a single platform, supporting reproducible cultivation across mammalian, microbial, and phototrophic cell types. Designed with a modular vessel range from 0.5 to 10 litres, an advanced sensor suite, and a standardised architecture compatible with larger commercial setups, HABITAT enables cultivated meat producers to move from controlled R&D studies through to scalable protein production.
