C.BIRD™ - Microbioreactor
Generate healthier suspension environments on a small scale with CYTENA’s unique mixing technology.
Incubation of suspension cell lines
C.BIRD is an excellent instrument for incubating suspension cells in 96/24-well plates. It prevents media evaporation and offers adequate mixing for the cells to prevent their sedimentation. Thus, it provides ideal growth conditions for the cells, increasing the experiments' reliability and reproducibility. It can simultaneously incubate and mix 3 24/96-well plates with variable mixing speeds. The instrument is controlled by a lightweight, user-friendly and easy-to-use software. The only downside of the instrument is that it needs to be connected to a PC always; it can not operate without it. CYTENA offered great after-sale care. They taught us how to use the instrument and shared some tips and tricks. Later, they also shared some relevant in-house data with us to help with our experiments. Overall, C.BIRD offers great value for its price, since you can test various media compositions in a short time, with high throughput in low volumes, to save time and money.

Bringing production bioreactor conditions to 96-well plates
C.BIRD™ is a high throughput microbioreactor for parallel cultivations in 96-well plates, bringing production bioreactors environments into 150-1600 µL microbioreactor scale.
Cutting weeks off the cell line development process
The C.BIRD™ enables early identification of the highest producing and most stable clones in order to reduce later passaging steps and efforts of current scaling-up process.
Better predictability of best cell clones
The C.BIRD™ screens and monitors valuable cell culture parameters for hundreds of cell lines from the earliest stages, helping scientists define the best clones sooner.
