01-05-2006: Sartorius AG and the US-based Fluorometrix Corp., a spin-off of the University of Maryland, have concluded a licensing contract that gives Sartorius exclusive use of Fluorometrix patents in the field of disposable sensors for bioreactors. The addition of disposable sensors for detection of multiple parameters completes the Sartorius portfolio of technology for the development and construction of disposable bioreactors.
Up to now, virtually all reactors on the market were reusable systems. Sartorius has been working on the development of bioreactors as disposable systems to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry regarding safety and hygiene. Disposable components and systems are increasingly in demand, both for improved process reliability and for the economic advantages they offer. Disposal components are available for use at all times, and make it easy to change products in a production process quickly and inexpensively. With reusable bioreactors, by contrast, complicated cleaning processes and sterilization operations, with the concomitant qualification procedures, must be performed carried out before a product change.
