FAQ – Organism Applications
Applikon bioreactor systems support the cultivation of a broad spectrum of organisms, including mammalian cells, stem cells, microorganisms (bacteria, yeast, fungi), insect cells, plant cells and algae. Each organism type requires specific environmental conditions — such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and agitation — all of which are precisely controlled by the Applikon bioprocess controllers available through Resea Biotec in Switzerland.
Yes. Applikon bioreactors are specifically engineered to meet the sensitive requirements of mammalian cell culture, including CHO, HEK293, and Vero cells commonly used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. They provide low-shear agitation, precise dissolved oxygen control, and scalable configurations from lab to GMP production scale — making them ideal for producing monoclonal antibodies, viral vectors, and vaccines.
Absolutely. Microbial fermentation is one of the most common applications for Applikon systems. Bacteria such as E. coli and yeast strains like Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Pichia pastoris grow rapidly and require high oxygen transfer rates and robust agitation — both of which Applikon glass and stainless steel bioreactors deliver reliably reliably across bench-top, pilot, and production scales.
Yes. Applikon bioreactors are well-suited for insect cell cultivation using the Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS), which is widely used to produce complex recombinant proteins, virus-like particles (VLPs), and vaccines. Insect cell lines such as Sf9 and High Five require gentle agitation and specific oxygen management — conditions that Applikon systems handle with precision.
Yes. Applikon systems support plant cell and algae cultivation for applications from pharmaceuticals and natural pigments to cellular agriculture and sustainable food ingredients. Need guidance on the right system? Our specialists are ready to help.
