Transient expression using ambr
and Life Technologies' Expi293™

NEW ambr Application Note

“Automated transient transfection using the Expi293™ expression system”
 
ambr - system overview
ambr™ mimics the characteristics of classical bioreactors at microscale (10-15ml), by using cost effective, disposable micro bioreactors, controlled by an automated workstation.
  ambr enables the rapid evaluation of multiple bioreactor cultures at microscale, increasing productivity in cell line development with significant savings on materials and labour.
  ambr is widely used by major Pharma and biologics companies, academic and research institutes as a microscale model for a range of upstream processes.

Central to the system is the single-use ambr micro bioreactor – specifically designed to mimic the characteristics of a larger scale bioreactor.
  To learn more about the unique ambr micro bioreactor design, and to view key processes from load of media to sampling - take an interactive tour.

The ambr workstation controls 24 or 48 disposable bioreactors, offering parallel processing and evaluation of multiple experiments in an automated benchtop system.
 
  • Closed loop control of pH and DO with independent control of O2 and CO2 for each vessel
  • Automated liquid handling for reactor set-up, feeds, base addition and sampling
  • Easy installation into laminar flow hood allowing aseptic operation
  • Optional integrated Vi-CELL® cell viability analysis
  A new analysis module for ambr has been recently launched, providing accurate automated pH calibration for enhanced bioprocess control.
 
  • A better tool for cell line selection and development - closely mimics the conditions of larger scale bioreactors
  • Simplified adoption of Quality by Design (QbD) principles for cell culture development
  • Significant reduction in cost per experiment
  • More experiments with less operator time for set up and clean down
 
  • cell line selection
  • process optimisation
  • media development
  • media feed strategies
  • QbD and DoE studies
  • Transient Transfection
