UFMini®: A Single-Use System for Scale-Down Studies
Obtain high cell recovery in small-to-mid-scale processing with the UniFuge Mini. Designed for high cell viability, it utilizes tubular bowl centrifugation for quicker iterations and testing, accelerating development through to pilot and large-scale production.

Overview

The UniFuge Mini is a user-friendly, automated batch centrifuge for low-shear separation of mammalian, bacterial, and insect cell lines. This scaled-down version of the UniFuge Pilot is perfect for cleanrooms, laminar flow hoods, and benchtops. It features a single-use module (rotor and separation chamber) and integral tube set that comes pre-gamma irradiated to ensure easy installation, clean-up, and disposal, making it ideal for de-risking scale-down studies before transitioning to larger-scale bioprocesses.

  • Low noise level (below 80dB) during operation
  • Continuous discharge of supernatant and intermittent discharge of cell culture
  • Reduces host cell proteins and other contaminants
  • Compatible with various processing volumes and concentration targets
  • Designed for fluid transfer with temperatures in the range of 4-38 °C (39-100 °F)
  • Includes radio frequency identification tag (RFID) system for module diagnostic monitoring and recording
  • Available in two minimum working volume options: Micro (90mL) or Mini (300mL)

 

Benefits of CARR Biosystems UniFuge Mini

Versatility : Perform diverse cell processing operations, including harvest, media exchange, concentration, and cell washing, in one powerful device.

Performance : Maximize yield with low-shear tubular bowl centrifugation, enhancing cell viability and recovering more product from less culture volume.

Efficiency : Streamline cell processing with intuitive software and full automation, reducing operational costs and enhancing process intensification.

Feasibility : De-risk development by conducting scale-down studies before investing in large-scale production, with consistent, reliable results from the smallest UniFuge.

 

Need more versatility?

The UniFuge Mini centrifuge has two module size options. The Micro module enables smaller volume processing at a reduced flow rate, and the Mini module offers a larger discharge volume. Choose the module that supports the desired concentration factor and intended application.
