TPP has claimed to develop a solution to every biopharmaceutical company’s need to increase yields of recombinant proteins at a fast and economical rate. The TPP Bioreactor Tube is designed for high throughput screening of cells and media optimization for suspension cell systems.

Media optimization is a process due to the cost of supplies and increased man-hours during repeat experiments. The TPP Bioreactor Tube has been designed to allow parallel experiments, therefore eliminating repeats.

The TPP Bioreactor Tube resembles a standard 50ml conical tube (600ml bottle coming soon!) with a cap that allows optimal gas exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and humidity. The cap contains five holes of different size and a 0.22um PTFE membrane filter.

Researchers have the opportunity to regulate gas exchange rates by concealing varying combinations of the cap holes. Determining optimal gas exchange rates during media optimization is where research laboratories waste excess amounts of time, and therefore money.

The gas porous filter of the TPP Bioreactor Tube guarantees oxygen supply even at high tissue densities. The hydrophobic membrane maintains sterility and minimizes evaporation of media. Also, all tubes are manufactured to be certified nuclease, nucleic acid, and pyrogen-free. All of these features have been quality assured by TPP Quality Control measures.
