Scaling up inefficient systems might reduce batch count. Sure, it looks like progress. ๐๐๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐โ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ ๐ Bigger โ Better if your process isnโt optimized. What scales mostly is your media costโฆ The real breakthrough in CGT COGS will come from something else entirely: ๐ฅ Process intensification at scale - Higher cell densities - Exponentially increased yield - Maintained (or improved) cell quality - Real impact on viable cells per run At BioThrust, weโre focused on exactly that: Building novel bioreactors that donโt just scaleโฆ but scale efficiently! The secret trick? Unlocking gas transfer bottlenecks that limit virtually every other bioreactor technology out there. ๐ In the carousel: A closer look at iPSC expansion and how different systems compare in cost per billion cells. The cell numbers are taken from our internal runs and published literature. The cost estimations are purely for reference and based on internal calculations - let us know if you have data to compare!
