Single-use bioreactor providing a family of single-use bioreactors from bench-top to full-scale production. Three challenges exist for faster and greater single use bioreactor adoption 1) higher quality and lower cost disposable bags and containers, 2) more reusable and disposable sensors and probes that can provide high quality analytics including real-time cell culture level data points, and 3) a family of bioreactors from lab to production that has full scale-up of the bioprocess. Suppliers are working to improve plastic bag materials and performance and also to develop a broader range of sensors and probes that provide scientists greater insight to cell density, quality
A Single Man the production design is by the same team that designed AMC television's "Mad Men", which is set in the same era. "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm has an uncredited voice cameo as the cousin of George's partner, Jim.
