System overview Introduction ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 is intended for cell cultivation. A disposable Cellbag bioreactor is placed on a rocker and filled with gas, partially filled with culture medium, and inoculated with cells. Gas transfer and mixing of culture is accomplished by wave-induced agitation, performed by the rocker unit.

The pressure control valve maintains a constant overpressure inside the Cellbag bioreactor. The rocking mechanism sets the rocking platform in motion. Wave motions are induced by the rocking. The culture is cautiously mixed, and gases are transferred into the culture. ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 User Manual 29009598 AD...

The analog input signal voltage range is 0 to 10 V DC, presented in UNICORN as 0% to 100%. One or both inputs can be changed by Cytiva Service to measure 0 to 20 mA/4 to 20 mA DC. There are currently no procedures for Cytiva Service to calibrate either of the analog inputs if one or both of them is changed to measure current, but the speci- fied accuracy still applies.
