The Technology

A Paradigm Shift from Stir-Tank Bioreactors.

01Homogeneous energy dissipation

Energy spreads evenly across the whole vessel. There are no high- and low-shear zones, and none of the turbulent bands a stirred tank produces.

02Unique vertical mixing geometry

A scalable impeller-to-vessel ratio keeps the mixing environment identical as vessels grow, all the way to commercial volumes.

03Precise process control and in-vessel dissociation

Homogeneous EDR gives predictable control over aggregate size and downstream differentiation, and the same mechanical energy can dissociate aggregates directly in the vessel, no separate step required.

Accelerate Your Process

Your Partner from Start to Scale.

A Vertical-Wheel® system comes with a process-development team, not just hardware. Our programs de-risk each transition on the way from feasibility run to commercial supply.

01Starter PacksThe Fastest Way onto the PlatformA curated PBS-Mini kit paired with a discounted Success Bundle, so a first feasibility run starts in weeks, not quarters.Get started
02Success BundlesGuided Optimization and Scale-Up PackagesConsulting packages that move you from R&D to clinical scale with our scientists on your process, priced so the first year is predictable.Learn about bundles
03PD & CDO ServicesPut Our Scientists on Your ProcessFeasibility, optimization and tech transfer run with our team. When you're ready, our CDMO partners already run the platform at scale.Explore services
