About SATAKE Bioreactors

We are distributing Satake’s bio reactors for overseas market.
Satake MultiMix Corporation is a No.1 manufacture of bio reactors in sales in Japan and Satake manufacture the bio rectors with superior scalability by their experienced stirring and flow control technology.
SATAKE BioReactors are characterized by the combination of the high-performance mixing impellers and mixing methods developed uniquely by SATAKE. Their BioReactors feature scalability that does not depend on the target scale.

Animal cell BioReactor: MRF Reactor

The MRF Reactor is a BioReactor for laboratory use that aim at actual production and scaling up. In addition to a “Simple shape with excellent cleaning ability” that is important for the actual equipment, the “MR210Bio impeller used exclusively for cell culture” that exhibits excellent mixing and homogenizing performance is provided as a standard, and therefore, similar culture results as during laboratory experiments can be reproduced during scale-up too. Moreover, fluid surface fluctuation (fed-batch culture) is supported, because of which the same mixing performance is exhibited no matter how much the liquid volume. A wide range of liquid volumes from small volumes like 1.5 L to large volumes of 20,000 L can be supported.
With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 10α II”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed.

Regenerative Medicine and Cells with Low Shearing Resistance: VMF Reactor

The VMF Reactor is a vertical reciprocating motion type next-generation reciprocating mixer for cell culture that combines together excellent blending performance and gentle mixing. Unlike the general rotating type, severe shear stress control is possible. Moreover, a “completely enclosed structure” that does not require a complex rotating-axis seal mechanism is implemented. There is no threat of contamination or leakage, and it has a high level of sterility and cleanliness.
With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 10αII”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed. Through customization, up to eight machines in series are supported.

Micro-bubble system animal cell culture BioReactor: VerSus Reactor

The VerSus Reactor is a new and innovative BioReactor for animal cell culture in which the technology of “SPG membrane sparger*” by which micro-bubbles with extremely high homogeneity can be generated is fused with a VMF reactor. Through an efficient oxygen supply by the SPG membrane sparger, oxygen can be supplied efficiently without putting stress on the animal cells in the culture tank. Also, due to a decline in the DO air flow rate, a foam layer can be prevented. With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 10α II”, changes in various parameters including PI control can be easily performed.

*SPG membrane sparger has been developed jointly by MIYAZAKI PREFECTURE INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY CENTER and JGC Corporation.

Single-use BioReactor: VMF50L/200L-SUB

The VMF50L/200L-SUB is a single-use BioReactor for commercial production.
The lineup consists of models from 50 to 200 L (development planned for up to 1,000 L) with tabletop models from 500 mL to 10 L, which are self-standing from 50 L and up. This is the largest model in the standard VMF reactor series and a commercial production device that is perfectly scalable, offering an unprecedented starting size of 500 mL.
The S-BOX × 200 controller is included as a standard, offering full control over DO, pH, temperature, in-bag pressure, etc., and is equipped with four embedded pumps in a series, a dedicated internal digital data logger, Satake data logger software, and a BioReactor data collection system, etc. It also supports computerized system validation, and documents are provided for qualification confirmation during the design stage, during installation, and during operation. We also provide support for clients who are not accustomed to creating user requested specifications.
We guarantee just-in-time supply in small lots of locally-manufactured single-use bags for sterilization validation. We can meet various demands required for commercial production, so please feel free to contact us.

3D floating iPS cell differentiation induction BioReactor: HiD 4 × 4 Reactor

The HiD 4 × 4 Reactor is the world’s first “Single-use mixer for 3D floating cell cultures” used exclusively for iPS cell differentiation induction. A BioReactor that achieves a high-volume production of uniform and homogeneous iPS cells is indispensable not only in regenerative medicine, but also in the “Use of human iPS cells in drug development” that aims at industrialization and commercial production. By promoting joint research and development with excellent research institutes or companies in Japan, we have succeeded in commercialization an iPS cell differentiation induction BioReactor for the first time in the world. 4, 8, 12, and 16 (or even more) such BioReactors can be controlled in a consolidated manner, and these are also best suited for screening. Moreover, we have also taken into consideration the adaptation to ES cells while performing development.
With the help of the dedicated controller “S-BOX × 02”, changes in various parameters including PI control, and production control in accordance with the purpose can be performed.
