Pilot runs in Europe and South America show breakthrough efficiency in monoclonal antibody production with unprecedented cost savings and scalability using St?mm's bubble-free continuous laminar flow bioreactor: the Bioprocessor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- St?mm unveiled breakthrough results of its continuous bioreactor for monoclonal antibody production with pilot studies in Germany, Switzerland, and Argentina. It achieved a minimum of 15x greater volumetric productivity, projecting up to 50x during 2025. It also consistently evidenced up to 4x cellular density and specific productivity. The Bioprocessor, a plug-and-play desktop unit, cuts costs compared to traditional fed-batch systems and eliminates downtime while maintaining quality, working with both adherent and suspension cultures.
