Take your success further with these gains for your operation:
Reduced dependency
Single use centrifuges avoid extensive cleaning and validation and reduce dependency on filtration.
Secure biocontainment
100% biocontainment-proof, closed pathways and contactfree Breezedrive® system minimize risks and ensure safe, leakage-free operation.
Flexible production
All GEA kytero® machines can be operated in fed-batch harvesting and/or high-yield perfusion mode to realize diverse production strategies.
Numerous products
GEA kytero® units efficiently separate pharma compounds, food proteins or gene therapy cells from mammalian cell or bacterial fermentation broth.
Faster delivery
The operation efficiency of these single use units enables faster R&D and production results.
Next generation
The GEA kytero® concept offers a low-investment gateway to the next generation of process and development.
