Our secret: Perfusion Fermentation
What is perfusion fermentation and why is it better?
Sunflower has developed an innovative method for in-vessel perfusion to allow for continuous feeding of the biomass in the bioreactor vessel, continuous harvesting of fluids, and continuous retention of cells in the controlled and healthy bioreactor environment. Sunflower’s proprietary cell retention device keeps the cells inside the bioreactor while continuously harvesting secreted protein and removing spent media. The benefits of this in-vessel perfusion strategy include healthier, consistent cell culture, longer production campaigns, ultra-high cell mass, and high protein yields.
