Laboratory Automation & Screening

Employed in automated laboratory setups for continuous media exchange in cell culture, facilitating high-throughput screening and research.

“The perfusion adapter that I purchased from you, I sterilize and use in surgery. I attach a standard suction hose (typically 0.25″ in diameter) and the other end to a hypodermic needle (typically 18 gauge) and I use it to suction contents out of abdominal organs.  It is great for the urinary bladder so dogs wake up from anesthesia more comfortably or then I can palpate for stones better.  It can also be helpful to suction out the stomach contents if it isn’t too thick which helps to palpate for foreign bodies or if a dog has a GDV/bloat then it deflates their stomach easier.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Top Polycarbonate Perfusion Adapters

What is a Perfusion Adapter and why is it important in bioprocessing?

A Perfusion Adapter is a specialized connector designed to facilitate continuous nutrient supply and waste removal in perfusion bioreactor systems. It’s crucial for achieving high-density cell culture and extending production runs in continuous biomanufacturing, leading to higher yields and consistent product quality.

Why is polycarbonate the ideal material for Brevet's Perfusion Adapters?

Polycarbonate is chosen for its rigidity, high strength, optical clarity, and chemical resistance. These properties ensure the adapter maintains precise dimensions, withstands operational pressures, allows for visual monitoring, and is biocompatible for aseptic fluid transfer in sensitive bioprocessing applications.

Are these Perfusion Adapters suitable for sterile single-use bioreactor systems?

 Yes, Brevet’s Polycarbonate Perfusion Adapters are manufactured from medical-grade polycarbonate in cleanroom environments under ISO 13485 certified quality systems and are FDA compliant, making them highly suitable for sterile fluid pathways in single-use bioreactors.

Can Brevet provide custom Perfusion Adapter designs for unique bioreactor setups?

Absolutely. We specialize in custom connector solutions. If your bioreactor system or cell culture application requires a unique perfusion adapter design with specific features or dimensions, our engineering team is ready to collaborate to create a tailored adapter solution.

What is the manufacturing process for Brevet's polycarbonate perfusion adaptors?

Brevet’s polycarbonate perfusion adaptors are primarily manufactured using precision injection molding. This process involves injecting high-grade polycarbonate resin into meticulously designed molds under precisely controlled temperature and pressure. Following molding, the parts undergo a crucial annealing process in specialized ovens. This step is vital to relieve any internal stresses developed during molding, thereby preventing potential stress cracking and ensuring the long-term durability, dimensional stability, and optimal performance of each perfusion adaptor.

How do Brevet's Perfusion Adapters contribute to enhanced cell viability?

By ensuring efficient and continuous exchange of fresh media and removal of metabolic waste, our precision-engineered Perfusion Adapters help maintain optimal cell culture conditions. This direct support for nutrient delivery systems contributes significantly to enhanced cell viability and sustained productivity in high-density cell culture.

What polycarbonate material options does Brevet offer for its perfusion adaptors?

Brevet provides two key polycarbonate material options for its perfusion adaptors: Polycarbonate 2558-550115 (clear) for transparency in standard applications, and Makrolon® Rx2530-451118 (purple). The purple Rx2530 is highly preferred for critical and sensitive uses due to its superior biocompatibility, enhanced sterilization resistance, and distinct visual identification.
