How would flexibility and simplicity benefit your process development or scale-up?
Enjoy an Improved Process with These Feeding Benefits
Flexibility Simplicity
Reduce feed volume for maximum working volume
Reduce feed volume for less dilution
Increase feeding within the available space for higher titers
Comparable performance when scaling up, switching between liquid and Gibco™ Advanced
Granulation Technology™ (AGT™) formats
Easier reconstitution decreases potential errors
Fewer closed-system connections reduce contamination risk
