Perfect Mix
Joint expertise for excellent solutions
Already well established as a global leader for liquid-, cell- and
sample- handling products, Eppendorf entered the bioprocess
market in 2007 through the acquisition of New Brunswick™
Scientific. This strategic move not only added 70 years of New
Brunswick experience with autoclavable and sterilizable-in-place
fermentors and bioreactors, it also allowed Eppendorf to add an
array of lab products such as shakers, freezers, and incubators to
its already comprehensive portfolio of products.
In 2012, Eppendorf further expanded its bioprocess
expertise and product offerings by acquiring DASGIP®, a
Scalable systems
> Eppendorf bioprocess systems
cover a wide range of working
volumes for applications from
research through production
pioneer in the development and production of benchtop and
small scale parallel bioreactors, and information technology
(IT) systems. Ideally-suited for high throughput and process
development work, the DASGIP portfolio further expanded
the Eppendorf bioprocess portfolio.
With a comprehensive offering of single-use and traditional
products for the growth of mammalian, microbial, insect, plant
and algae cells, and working volumes of 60 mL – 2,400 L, the
Eppendorf bioprocess portfolio can satisfy the demands of
process development through production.
