Magnetic Stirrer for Cell Cultures in Pharmaceutical Laboratory

Overview

The Magnetic Shaker for cell cultures is a high-precision mixing equipment designed to ensure homogeneity and cell viability in pharmaceutical laboratories. With advanced engineering integrated into its reactor, this system provides high-precision magnetic stirring without direct mechanical contact, eliminating the risks of cross-contamination and preserving the integrity of the most sensitive growth media.

In biotechnological and pharmaceutical processes, maintaining a strictly sterile environment is essential for batch success. The use of a Pharmaceutical Reactor with Magnetic Stirrer perfectly meets these more demanding processes, offering a high degree of asepsis. The absence of traditional mechanical seals prevents leaks and ensures that the chemical and pharmaceutical industry operates with maximum safety and in full compliance with global health standards.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, supplying agitators, tanks, reactors, mixers and dispersers of up to 10,000 liters for the industry in general. Our expertise allows us to develop complete projects that ensure superior results in the homogenization of cell cultures, combining cutting-edge technology with the highest quality materials to support the intense research and production routines in pharmaceutical laboratories and biotechnology centers.

Benefits and advantages

High Degree of Asepsis

The absence of mechanical seals in the Magnetic Stirrer eliminates points of waste accumulation, ensuring a high degree of asepsis essential for safe cell cultivation.

Preservation of Cellular Viability

Strict speed control provides high-precision magnetic stirring, avoiding shear stress and maintaining cell health and integrity.

Seamless Reactor Integration

Our advanced engineering allows the system to be perfectly integrated with your Pharmaceutical Reactor with Magnetic Stirrer, optimizing space and process efficiency.

Reduced Maintenance

As it does not have a thru-axle or traditional seals, the equipment presents minimal mechanical wear, drastically reducing maintenance stops in the laboratory.

Health Compliance

Manufactured with high quality materials and sanitary polishing, the equipment fully meets the standards of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry for the most demanding processes.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a magnetic stirrer for cell cultures?

The Magnetic Stirrer for cell cultures is equipment that uses magnetic fields to transmit torque to the propellant inside the reactor, without the need for physical contact or a through shaft. This ensures high-precision magnetic stirring and eliminates the risk of external contamination, making it vital for healthy cell growth in laboratories.

Why use a magnetic stirrer reactor in the pharmaceutical industry?

The use of a Pharmaceutical Reactor with Magnetic Stirrer is recommended because it offers a high degree of asepsis for more demanding processes. The absence of a mechanical seal prevents leaks and blocks the entry of microorganisms, protecting the integrity and purity of pharmaceutical batches.

What is the maximum capacity of the reactors supplied by Agimix?

Agimix supplies complete reactors and tanks with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters. For volumes above this range, we only supply the magnetic stirring system to be installed in the tank that the customer already has, guaranteeing the same efficiency and safety in the process.

How does the magnetic stirrer protect the cells during mixing?

The equipment protects the cells through smooth and precise control of rotation, minimizing the shear stress that could damage the microorganisms. This advanced engineering integrated into the reactor ensures that the growth media are perfectly homogenized without disrupting cell membranes.

Does the equipment support CIP and SIP sterilization processes?

Yes, the design of the equipment was specifically designed to support rigorous cleaning and sterilization routines on site (CIP and SIP). The 316L stainless steel finish with sanitary polish facilitates the removal of residue and withstands high steam temperatures without suffering degradation.

What are the main applications of this equipment besides cell cultures?

In addition to cell cultures, the equipment is widely used in the preparation of vaccines, injectable solutions, eye drops and sterile formulations in general. It is the ideal choice for any application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry that requires homogeneous mixing under strictly aseptic conditions.

Does Agimix sell the magnetic coupling system separately?

Agimix does not sell parts or accessories in isolation, but complete projects and systems. The magnetic coupling is supplied as an integral part of a Pharmaceutical Reactor or sized and integrated specifically for the customer's existing tank, depending on the project's needs.

How is the magnetic stirrer maintained?

Maintenance is extremely simple and quick due to the absence of mechanical seals and complex thru-axles. The focus of preventive maintenance is on inspecting external bearings and checking motor alignment, ensuring continuous superior results and increased laboratory uptime.
