G-Rex® Culture Plates – 40X plus cell expansion
Once inoculated, suspension cells such as hybridomas will gravitate to the well base and settle above the G-Rex gas exchange membrane forming a dense layer of cells after a few days. Cells remain well oxygenated and expand without user intervention, apart from occasional removal of media and re-feeding. A single well of G-Rex 6-Well Plate can be equivalent to 2 or 3 x T175 flasks when generating monoclonal antibody.
G-Rex® 6-Well Plate
Expand 5 million cells per well into between 200 and 400 million cells per well in about 10 days with only one exchange of medium.
Test out different protocols for the production of monoclonal antibodies by hybridoma technology, then scale-up with the 1 Litre EZ-Flask.
10cm2 gas permeable membrane surface area per well
35 ml fill volume per well
Cat.# KDW0026

G-Rex® 24-Well Plate
Expand 1 million cells per well into between 40 and 80 million cells per well in about 10 days with only one exchange of medium.Test out different protocols for the production of monoclonal antibodies by hybridoma technology, then scale-up with EZ-Flask.
2 cm2 gas permeable membrane surface area per well
7ml fill volume per well
Cat.# KDW0024

Gas permeable base membrane
A gas-permeable silicone membrane at the base of each well ensures cells remain well oxygenated and expand continuously. This means minimal user intervention is required without the need for frequent media change. For example : inoculate G-Rex 6 with 5e6 cells and achieve over 100X expansion. The EZ-Flask (1 Litre) represents 20 x scale-up of a single well of the G-Rex 6 plate.
No passaging required
G-Rex culture plates enable the expansion of hybridomas and other non-adherent cells to very high numbers without the need for passaging. For example, each 35ml well of a G-Rex 6 Plate acts as a mini-bioreactor yielding 3 – 6 x more monoclonal antibody than a T-175 flask when growing a hybridoma. See example data below

Grow >1e9 cells without passaging
EZ Flask bioreactor is a 1 Litre single compartment flask that enables 100 million suspension cells to be expanded to over 4 billion cells in about 10 days with only one exchange of medium, e.g. hybridomas, CHO, Sf9, Jurkat…

Cat.# KDW0010
Cat.# | Description | Volume ml | Membrane area cm2 |
---|---|---|---|
KDW0026 | G-Rex 6 | 35/well | 10/well |
KDW0024 | G-Rex 24 | 7/well | 2/well |
KDW0010 | EZ Flask | 1000 | 200 |

Ideal for comparing hybridoma clones
Inoculate G-Rex 6 with 1.25 million cells / well …and 10 days later, with just one media exchange, each well can yield 200 to 400 million cells.
Continuous culture of organoids
We were excited to see the 2021 paper “Self-organized emergence of hyaline cartilage in hiPSC-derived multi-tissue organoids” in which the authors cultured multi-tissue organoids for many weeks continuously in a G-Rex bioreactor doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.09.21.461213
“We tested your G-Rex 6 well Plates with very good results. We used newly etablished monoclonal cell lines to generate the first amounts of purified antibodies”

We tried two rat mAbs, #IBL-11 (against an undefined mouse lymphoid stromal marker) and #IBL-12 against mouse MARCO antigen, both developed in our lab. Considering the speed for achieving several mgs of each, I am very satisfied with the performance of G-rex, and the ease of operation.
We could clearly collect and re-initiate the growth by removing weekly (a) 30 ml of supernatant, adding fresh, and (b) three days later collecting 32 ml (out of 35 total) of another spent medium with cells (so we had twice-a-week SN harvest) for three weeks.
I have just performed our experiments and I have to inform you that I’ve obtained very good amounts of antibodies from the G-Rex6. Since, I got a much larger amount from this than from my normal protocol I couldn’t quantify it yet and I will have to dilute it next time. For now we would like to get 20 EZ flasks and 6 G-Rex6 well plates since we are starting a new project for antibody production. We would like to implement these production systems right away.
