Webinar: Scalable Suspension Culture of Organoids
This webinar examines scalable suspension culture of PSC-derived organoids using PBS Biotech Vertical-Wheel bioreactors. PBS Applications Engineer, Hannah Worden, explains how low-shear, homogeneous mixing and consistent geometry support organoid process development and scale-up. Case studies cover liver, pancreatic islet, and cerebellar organoids, including aggregate-size control, differentiation, functional markers, and improved organization under dynamic culture. The Q&A addresses agitation, seeding density, media formulation, perfusion-based medium exchange, sampling, and early scale-up planning for reproducible organoid manufacturing.
This poster, presented at ISSCR Kyoto 2026, demonstrates a scalable strategy for iPSC manufacturing using Vertical-Wheel Bioreactors, addressing expansion, process development, cell banking, and differentiation. Linear scale-up from PBS-0.1 through PBS-80 produced >200 billion iPSCs at a 50 L working volume while maintaining pluripotency and normal karyotype. High-density work cell banks were developed through 3D adaptation and retained differentiation potential toward cardiomyocytes and pancreatic progenitors. MiniPRO further served as a controlled scale-down model, demonstrating growth…
This presentation, presented at ISSCR Kyoto 2026 explores how Vertical-Wheel Bioreactors can reduce development and manufacturing risk for PSC therapies by providing a scalable platform from process development through commercial production. It highlights global clinical trials supported by Vertical-Wheel technology, predictive scale-down with MiniPRO, controlled hydrodynamics, automation, and linear scale-up through PBS-80. Data demonstrate consistent PSC growth across scales, culminating in >200 billion cells from a 50 L batch while maintaining pluripotency, illustrating a practical…
This guide collects and summarizes process parameters from successful experiments performed in Vertical-Wheel® bioreactors, across a variety of cell types including pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells, exosomes and extracellular vesicles, organoids, and immune cells. Find the publication or resource most relevant to your own experiment to help with your process development.
