REPROCELL Expands Product Portfolio with Addition of BioThrust™ ComfyCell Incu Bioreactor Platform

Glasgow, UK – [March 2, 2026] – REPROCELL today announced the expansion of its product catalogue with the addition of the BioThrust™ ComfyCell Incu bioreactor platform, further strengthening the company’s offering for advanced human cell culture and stem cell research.

As a licensed worldwide distributor of BioThrust ComfyCell Incu products, REPROCELL now provides researchers with access to an innovative 300 mL single-use bioreactor system designed for intensified and scalable cultivation of sensitive cells.

Strengthening REPROCELL’s Cell Culture Technology Portfolio

The addition of the BioThrust ComfyCell Incu platform aligns with REPROCELL’s mission to support researchers with high-quality, human-relevant technologies across drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and cell therapy research.

The ComfyCell Incu system introduces membrane-based gas transfer technology that addresses common limitations of conventional bioreactors, such as low gas transfer efficiency and high shear forces associated with sparging or headspace aeration. By leveraging a proprietary Membrane Stirrer design, the system enables up to ten times higher gas transfer compared to traditional systems while maintaining gentle cultivation conditions for sensitive cell types.

The platform is particularly well suited for:

  • 3D culture of iPSC spheroids
  • Adherent cultures on carriers (e.g., MSCs, iPSCs, HEK cells)
  • Suspension cultures of single cells, including NK and T cells

The motor-driven membrane system connects directly to the single-use vessel to drive internal membrane blades, while the integrated pump actively circulates incubator atmosphere through hollow fiber membranes for efficient aeration.

Enabling Scalable and Intensified Bioprocessing

By incorporating the BioThrust ComfyCell Incu into its portfolio, REPROCELL enhances its ability to support researchers moving from early-stage process development toward scalable bioprocessing strategies.

The 300 mL system provides a practical entry point for intensified cell cultivation, offering a balance of scalability, control, and gentle culture conditions for sensitive and high-value cell types.

The BioThrust ComfyCell Incu platform is available now through REPROCELL’s website.
