CELLMASTER TM Cell Culture Roller Bottles The cultivation of cells as mass cultures has become increasingly important over the past few decades and has led to the further development of the quality and purity of products used. This includes items such as roller bottles which are used in the production of virus vaccines or for obtaining proteins used for medicines. CELLMASTER TM roller bottles are made from polystyrene (PS) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These materials, like those used for the screw caps (HDPE) and the hydrophobic membrane (PET/ PTFE) of the filter screw caps (Fig. 1), comply with the quality standards of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia. The complete end product is USP Class VI certified. All roller bottles are sterilised by irradiation. Pyrogen testing is conducted using the "Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate" (LAL) assay in accordance with FDA guidelines (12/8). The tolerance level is 0.06 EU/ml. Since roller bottles are manufactured using a two-phase blow-moulding procedure, the bottles are seamless. This rules out the risk of liquid leaking from a faulty seam. Depending on your cultivation requirements, you can choose between roller bottles made of PS or PET All roller bottles have a particular high stability and transparency Roller bottles are available in different sizes ( mm, 116 x 276 mm, mm, 122 x 275 mm) with or without a radial surface for an expanded growth area ( cm 2, cm 2, cm 2, cm 2 ) Seamless blow-moulding technique, rules out leaking seams Non-pyrogenic tolerance limit 0.06 EU/ ml Graduations from 150 to 2000 ml Lot number and best-before date to ensure lot traceability for roller bottles made of polystyrene USP Class VI end product testing is certificated Safety screw cap guarantees tightly closed, contaminationfree cultivation Short cap thread for quick and easy opening for roller bottles made of polystyrene Figure 1: Filter screw cap CELLMASTER TM Roller Bottle Nomenclature: The product range includes two different sizes, a and a form. The sizes are labelled as X and XL Both sizes are available with a or a surface. The design increases the growth area of the roller bottle without changing the height. The figure before the X or XL indicates the multiplication factor by which the surface of a type increases compared to the roller bottle with cm 2 Short forms with a design have a 2-fold or 2.5-fold expanded growth area ( or ) Long roller bottles with a design have a 5-fold expanded growth area () compared to the form () 1 26 www.gbo.com/bioscience
