IKA Bioreactors HABITAT Cell DW 10

The IKA Bioreactors HABITAT Cell DW 10 is a 10-liter double-wall glass vessel package designed for high-volume cell culture applications. It is part of the HABITAT bioreactor system and includes all the essential components for efficient and reproducible bioprocessing. With a double-wall design, it allows for precise temperature control via external circulators such as the IKA HRC basic or control models, making it ideal for sensitive cell-based research and production.

This vessel is equipped with advanced monitoring features, robust mixing components, and gas exchange systems to ensure optimal conditions for cell growth and productivity. When paired with the separately available HABITAT control tower, users gain full control over key process parameters for consistent and scalable results.
