Legal

Most products require no additional agreements. Cell lines and certain biological materials require a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) on first purchase from each supplier. We handle this digitally - both parties sign online before shipment. Subsequent orders from the same supplier proceed immediately.

The HABITAT Cell control tower offers an optimized bioreactor solution for cell culture applications, enabling precise monitoring and control of cell culture processes. It consists of a control unit with comprehensive connectivity options for gas supply, liquid addition, multi-parameter sensors, and temperature regulation, along with a user-friendly tablet interface for seamless bioreactor operation and control.

The intuitive software allows easy control and monitoring of the bioprocess and associated parameters via a 10.4-inch tablet. Users can select from batch, fed-batch, and perfusion/continuous operating modes, catering to various cell culture techniques. The innovative Chaotic Mixing function enables efficient and homogeneous mixing when required. The control software provides clear calibration management, real-time data visualization, and complete process documentation, ensuring compliance with FDA CFR Part 11 requirements (optional).

Precise and adjustable gassing is achieved through four individual built-in mass flow controllers for four separate gas lines (N2, O2, air, and CO2), enabling flow rates of 0.01 – 2 L/min tailored to cell growth requirements. By using the integrated and freely customizable cascade control system, each gas flow can be automatically adjusted by the software at any time according to the ambient conditions in order to maintain the target parameters. Four integrated Watson-Marlow pumps with adjustable direction and speed offer highest precision and versatility in pumping in and out acid, base, anti-foam agents, and feeding solutions for mammalian cell culture media management.

The system comes equipped with latest-technology sensors to precisely monitor and control critical bioprocess parameters. The standard sensors included are pH, DO (dissolved oxygen), temperature, filling level, and foam, with options to connect optional sensors like CO2, Conductivity, Turbidity, Viable cell mass, Redox, and Off-gas analysis. The integrated PID control ensures precise temperature regulation at all times, regardless of vessel type (single-wall or double-wall) or fill level. The unit features a compact, space-saving design with dimensions of 223 x 402 x 450 mm (WxDxH), cross-platform connectivity, data storage, and a status LED display. Only a control tower and the separately available vessel package make up a functional unit.
