Bioreactors for lab, pilot and production

Bioprocess development rarely stays one size. Programs typically start at laboratory scale and grow through pilot to production as demand and process needs evolve. That’s why TECNIC offers bioreactor systems across scales, from lab to pilot and production, so you can expand volume while keeping a consistent workflow.

Explore multi-use and single-use options depending on your process and facility needs. The range supports both cell culture and microbial configurations, helping you keep the same operational logic as volumes increase. Browse the bioreactors below to compare platforms, volumes, and configurations, then request information to speed up your selection.
