Our Product Range
DCI, Inc. goes beyond standard fermentation and bioreactor systems by providing comprehensive solutions that include essential skidded systems designed for the specific demands of the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, biotechnology and related industries. Our fully integrated skidded systems, also referred to Packaged Equipment, enhance operational efficiency, support sanitary processing, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. Here’s a closer look at some of the popular skidded systems we offer:
-
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) Systems: Our CIP systems are critical for maintaining equipment cleanliness without the need for disassembly. These automated systems can be adapted to various levels, depending on the cleaning application and sizes/arrangements of the CIP clients, streamline the cleaning process, preventing contamination and ensuring sterility, cleanability and bioburden control across piping and equipment used in your production process.
-
- Steam-in-Place (SIP) Systems: Paired frequently with CIP systems, SIP systems offer in-line sterilization using steam, a must-have for aseptic environments. These systems are particularly valuable in biopharmaceutical production, ensuring that bioreactors and other equipment in process zones maintain sterile conditions throughout.
-
- Media Preparation Skids: Designed for preparing media solutions to support only one specific cell growth and produce the desired product (axenic culture), our media preparation skids ensure consistent, sterile media formulation. This consistency is essential for the growth and viability of cultures in biopharmaceutical applications and maintain repeatability to manufacture uniform batches.
-
- Buffer Preparation Skids: For applications requiring precise pH control, our buffer preparation skids simplify the preparation of buffer solutions, an essential component in bioprocessing and drug formulation. These skids ensure accuracy and consistency in pH maintenance during critical stages.
-
- Fermentation and Bioreactor Skids: Fermentation and Bioreactor skids play a central role in the cultivation of cells and microorganisms under controlled conditions. These systems are a foundational element in biopharmaceutical production, providing the necessary environment for cell growth and production optimization.
-
- Water for Injection (WFI) Systems: WFI systems provide ultrapure water necessary for injection-based pharmaceuticals, meeting USP standards. Our WFI systems are designed to ensure consistent purity, a requirement for injectable drugs and other sensitive applications.
-
- Ultrafiltration and Diafiltration Skids: Used to concentrate and purify solutions, ultrafiltration and diafiltration skids are instrumental in the removal of small molecules and protein concentration. These systems are highly valued in biopharmaceuticals, where precision in product concentration and purity is critical.
-
- Filtration Skids: Filtration skids are critical in the final stages of drug formulation, particularly for sterilization and particulate removal. These skids support the fill-finish stages, maintaining product integrity during solution preparation and final packaging.
