Wave Bioreactor (Wave Bioreactor) is an innovative bioreactor system, which has been widely used in biopharmaceutical field with its unique wave stirring technology, ease of operation and high productivity. With the rapid development of biotechnology, Wave Bioreactor plays an increasingly important role in cell culture, protein production, vaccine preparation and so on. In this paper, the working principle, advantages of Wave Bioreactor and its application in biopharmaceutical field will be introduced in detail.

Working Principle and Advantages

1. Working Principle

The Wave Bioreactor adopts the wave stirring technology, which generates horizontal waves by installing an eccentric rotating disk at the bottom of the culture vessel, so that the medium forms a uniform flow, thus realizing the full mixing of cells and nutrients. This type of mixing avoids the shear damage to the cells caused by the traditional mixing paddle, and is favorable to the growth and metabolism of the cells.

2. Advantages

(1) Simple operation: Wave Bioreactor is designed to simplify the operation process without the need for a complex control system, which is easy for operators to master.

(2) Low shear force: Wave mixing technology reduces shear force, which is favorable for cell growth and product expression.

(3) Small footprint: Wave Bioreactor's smaller size saves lab space, making it easy to achieve large-scale production.

(4) High production efficiency: Wave Bioreactor has high cell density and product concentration, which improves production efficiency.

(5) Lower cost: Compared with other bioreactors, Wave Bioreactor has lower acquisition and operation costs.
