The Smart MCs Magnetic Stirrer is an optimised laboratory instrument engineered to provide precise and reliable agitation, which is essential for successful cultivated meat production. It directly addresses the challenge of maintaining uniform suspension and nutrient distribution in large-scale cell culture systems, particularly those utilising microcarriers. As a perfect companion for spinner flask systems, this stirrer ensures gentle yet consistent agitation, promoting optimal cell growth and viability across various suspension and microcarrier-based cultures. This controlled environment is critical for maintaining the high standards required in food-grade bioprocessing.
This precision-engineered device is constructed from durable, chemically resistant materials, ensuring long-term stability and performance in demanding laboratory environments. Its key differentiator is the adjustable stirring speed, which allows for tuneable and controlled agitation, a specialised requirement for sensitive cell lines. Furthermore, the availability of various models, including those with heating units, provides customisable solutions to meet diverse process needs, enhancing its utility from initial research to commercial-ready applications.
The stirrer is validated for use in microcarrier cultivation and general suspension cell cultures, supporting a broad range of mammalian cell types critical to the cultivated meat industry. While quantitative metrics are process-dependent, its consistent performance is certified by a Certificate of Analysis, confirming its reliability as a precision instrument. Its design ensures homogeneity in solution preparation and prevents cell sedimentation, which are fundamental requirements for achieving high yields and consistent quality in bioprocesses.
Designed for practical usage, the Smart MCs Magnetic Stirrer seamlessly integrates with the Smart MCs Magnetic Spinner Flask, enhancing the efficiency and scalability of your cultivated meat workflow. Its robust functionality supports the entire development pipeline, from small-scale R&D to pilot studies and ultimately to commercial-scale production. By providing a stable, controlled, and consistent environment, this instrument supports the transition to large-volume, animal-origin-free and serum-free systems, aligning with the stringent regulatory and food-safe requirements of the modern food technology sector.
