Parallel Bioreactor Systems

AbioBundle Multimini™ by Applitech is a miniature multi-parallel bioreactor designed for high-throughput process development, optimization, and scale-up studies. Available in a standard 4-vessel configuration and scalable to as many as 32 parallel vessels, the system supports both mammalian cell culture and microbial fermentation applications.

With working volumes from 50 to 400 mL, the Multimini provides a compact parallel bioreactor system for scale-down studies while maintaining geometric similarity to larger Applitech bioreactors for transfer to pilot- and production-scale processes.
