Closed and Automated: The Upgrade Path of Cell Factories in Large-Scale Cell Culture

 As biomanufacturing continues to scale from lab to production, stability, scalability, and traceability have become central to process optimization. The Multilayer Cell Factory System, once viewed merely as a culture vessel, is now evolving into an integrated, intelligent, and closed platform that anchors modern adherent cell culture processes.


Cell Factory Product Guide


1. From Vessels to Systems: A Shift in Role


Traditionally, cell factories were used for large-scale adherent cell expansion.

Today, they are part of a broader bioprocess framework—integrating with medium bottles, tubing assemblies, and automated filling systems to ensure process consistency and contamination control.


This transformation reflects a key mindset change: the cell factory is no longer a passive container, but an active system component in modern cell-based production lines.


2. Closed Systems: A New Approach to Contamination Control


Open handling remains one of the biggest contamination risks in scale-up.

By adopting pre-assembled, Closed System Cell Factory with Tubing, all liquid transfer—including media feeding and waste removal—occurs in a sealed pathway, minimizing operator exposure.


This approach is increasingly used in vaccine manufacturing, viral vector production, and exosome processing, aligning with cGMP standards for aseptic fluid transfer.

3. Intelligent Monitoring and Automated Control


Emerging “smart” Multilayer Cell Factory System integrate temperature, gas flow, and liquid level sensors for real-time monitoring.


These digital interfaces allow automated control and data recording, paving the way for AI-driven process optimization and electronic batch traceability.


In the near future, such systems could directly interface with automated media exchange units and*continuous culture modules, making industrial-scale adherent culture both efficient and intelligent.


4. Green Manufacturing and Safer Materials


With the rise of sustainability in biomanufacturing, advanced materials such as medical-grade PS and PC ensure optimal cell attachment while reducing extractables.


Manufacturing in energy-efficient ISO Class C cleanrooms, combined with recyclable packaging and quality traceability systems, reflects a broader commitment to ESG and green production.

Recommended Medium Volumes for Cell Culture Flasks

图片
  In the process of cell culture, selecting appropriate flask specifications and correct medium volumes is one of the key factors ensuring cell growth and experimental success. Different specifications of cell culture flasks , such as T25, T75, T175, and T225, each have their recommended medium volumes. However, the specific volume should be adjusted and optimized based on cell type, culture purpose, and experimental conditions. Cell Culture Flask 1. Common Cell Culture Flask Specifications and Recommended Medium Volumes T25 flask : Recommended medium volume is 5–10 mL, typically used for initial cell seeding and small-scale culture. T75 flask : Recommended medium volume is 15–25 mL, suitable for intermediate-scale cell expansion and mid-stage culture. T175 flask : Recommended medium volume is 40–55 mL, capable of supporting larger-scale cell growth and longer-term culture needs. T225 flask : Recommended medium volume is 55–70 mL, generally used for large-scale cell expansion and p...

Common Ingredients in FDA-Approved Vaccines

图片
Vaccines to prevent infectious diseases are given to millions of babies, children, adolescents and adults and it is critical that they are demonstrated to be safe and effective. FDA requires that vaccines undergo a rigorous and extensive development program in the laboratory, as well as in animal studies and human clinical trials, to determine their safety and effectiveness.  Highly trained FDA scientists and physicians thoroughly evaluate the information in a marketing application and make a determination whether to license (approve) a vaccine before it can be used in the United States. Prior to approval, as part of FDA’s evaluation, FDA takes all of the ingredients of a vaccine into account.  After FDA approves a vaccine, FDA continuously monitors its safety.  Multilayer Cell Factory System Why is aluminum in some vaccines? Aluminum salts are incorporated into some vaccine formulations as an adjuvant.  An adjuvant is a substance added to some vaccines to enhance th...

How to Test the Sealability of PETG Media Bottles

图片
  The sealing performance of PETG media bottles directly affects the storage safety of their contents, making rigorous testing essential. From basic physical inspections to pressure tests simulating real-world conditions, each step ensures the integrity of PETG media bottles. 1. Visual Inspection and Structural Assessment Before formal sealability testing, conduct a thorough visual inspection. Check for cracks, bubbles, or defects in the bottle body, and ensure the cap and bottle threads are intact and properly matched. Even minor flaws can compromise sealing. Additionally, inspect the sealing gasket inside the cap—its integrity and uniformity are critical for an airtight seal. For example, if the gasket has gaps or uneven hardness, proper sealing may fail even if the cap is tightly closed. 500ml Square Media Bottle PET/PETG 2. Vacuum Decay Test The vacuum decay test is a widely used method for detecting leaks. The media bottle is placed in a sealed chamber, and a vacuum is applie...
