Scalable Single-Use Centrifugation with Ksep400-OPC
Ksep400-OPC for Continuous, Automated Bioprocessing
The Ksep400-OPC system from Sartorius is a high-performance, single-use centrifugation platform engineered for the continuous, gentle, and scalable separation of cells and particles in modern biomanufacturing. Designed for applications such as cell therapy, vaccine production, recombinant proteins, and blood processing, Ksep400-OPC supports sterile, high-yield operations with built-in features that ensure process integrity and regulatory compliance. With OPC integration, it also enables secure data exchange and digital batch documentation to meet cGMP standards.
Key Features and Benefits
- Continuous Non-Stop Discharge
Patented bowl design enables discharge without stopping rotation, supporting uninterrupted and sterile processing. - Automated and Manual Operation
Offers full automation with the option for manual control to meet varying process requirements. - Inbuilt Modularity
Designed to support Pilot-scale through to large-scale operations, processing up to 200 L of culture volume. - Gentle on Cells
Low shear environment preserves cell viability and minimizes intracellular contamination, ideal for sensitive cultures. - Closed, Single-Use Design
Uses pre-sterilized, USP Class VI-compliant consumables to ensure product efficacy and prevent cross-contamination.
