GEA kytero 10 single-use disk stack centrifuge

The GEA kytero 10 is claimed to be the smallest single-use disk stack centrifuge. The mini centrifuge is used in the biopharmaceutical, food and new food industries for product development, which can often only provide small bioreactor sizes. Its task is the separation of bacteria, cell cultures and yeasts as well as applications in cell and gene therapy. 

Suitable for volumes from 1–10 L, this is the smallest model in the GEA range for cell separation and recirculation. As a result of the low-shear design, high cell viability with continuous cell harvesting and perfusion processes, by use of centrifugal separation, is possible from laboratory scale up to production size. The separator is suitable for the smallest batch and perfusion fermenters.

The separators offer the same advantages as classic disk stack separators, but without the need for CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place). They are ready for the next process run in just a few minutes and require no media other than electricity and air. The compact design and the easy and self-explanatory operability enable simple operation in any system. The non-contact drive system, breeze Drive, is designed to ensure safe operation under high biocontainment requirements.
