Vaccines
Enhance vaccine production with UniFuge®, ViaFuge®, and PowerFuge®. These centrifuges are designed for reliable, scalable vaccine development, offering flexibility for both live virus and recombinant vaccines.
How It Works
One cell processing platform for the full cell therapy development cycle
CARR’s centrifuge platforms use tubular bowl technology for gentle, low-shear separation, crucial for preserving cell viability in live virus vaccines and removing debris in recombinant vaccines. UniFuge and ViaFuge handle live virus applications, while PowerFuge manages complex solids in traditional vaccine production. All models support reliable, contamination-free processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Vaccines
How do CARR centrifuges handle hazardous processing and difficult materials?
CARR centrifuges’ closed system design enables hazardous processing like ethanol drying and handles challenging materials such as fumed silica. During ethanol drying for polysaccharide production, the closed system minimizes exposure and risk. For difficult solids like fumed silica, CARR centrifuges are engineered to prevent clogging and ensure smooth, continuous operation.
What are the key advantages of tubular bowl centrifugation for vaccine production?
Tubular bowl centrifugation offers gentle separation of cells and solids, which is crucial for maintaining cell viability in live virus vaccines and efficiently removing debris in recombinant vaccine production.
How scalable are CARR centrifuge systems for vaccine production?
CARR centrifuge systems are designed to scale seamlessly from small-scale research to large-scale manufacturing. The UniFuge platform offers single-use options that support flexible volumes, ranging from small batches with the UFMicro to large production runs with the UniFuge U2K. For even higher throughput, the PowerFuge and ViaFuge stainless steel centrifuges handle volumes up to 2,400 L/hr, providing high yield and consistent performance across all production scales.
