The UniVessel® SU is a disposable stirred bioreactor. The bioreactor was a new development. The focus was on increased usability and better operability. In addition, the disposable container was replaced. Functionally, the single-use bioreactor is comparable to the autoclavable glass bioreactors. The main advantage is that the complete container can be disposed of after use. This shortens cleaning times and reduces the risk of contamination.
The design of the UniVessel® SU picks up on shape elements and colours typical of Sartorius (orange, white, grey), so that the bioreactor fits seamlessly into the Sartorius product family. In the design, special emphasis was placed on functionality. The container can be easily connected to the base and disconnected again after use. The cable management on the upper edge of the container is helpful: hoses and cables can be organised and attached directly to the unit. The connections on the unit are located in a recess, which protects the cable and plug from shocks and liquid.
