Description
The Chemglass CLS-1380-08 Rushton Style Impeller Blades are specialized components designed for use in 2L to 3L bioreactors. These blades are crucial for the mixing system within the bioreactor, responsible for agitating the culture medium to ensure a homogeneous environment for cell growth. The blades have a diameter of 46 mm and are designed to be attached to an 8 mm outer diameter (OD) agitator shaft.
The “Rushton Style” designation refers to a specific impeller design that is known for creating radial flow, which is a turbulent mixing pattern. This type of mixing is effective for gas dispersion and is often used in applications where high mass transfer rates are required. The Rushton impeller’s design helps to break up gas bubbles into smaller bubbles, increasing the surface area for gas-liquid transfer, a key factor in aerobic cell cultures. The specific dimensions of these blades make them optimized for the 2L to 3L bioreactor scale.
These Rushton Style Impeller Blades are a vital tool for achieving optimal growth conditions and maximizing the yield of desired products in bioprocessing applications, such as microbial fermentation and certain cell culture workflows.
