Mycap® CCX Processing With Cubis® II
Last updated: May 2020
Overview
Mycap® CCX is used to expand suspension cell cultures from cell banks to seed bioreactors. The expansion process is performed by multiple passages of successively larger Erlenmeyer flasks and involves the aseptic transfer of media and/or inoculum between donor and recipient flasks, the amount of which is measured gravimetrically. Using this system eliminates the need to work in a biosafety cabinet for media or inoculum transfer, as there is no need to remove the flask cap for fluid transfer during passaging or sampling.
The Cubis® II Mycap® CCX processing software application provides transfer of media or inoculum between Mycap® Erlenmeyer flasks using peristaltic pumps. Learn more about the process by downloading this informative application highlight.
