The 3D-printed down-scaled reactors made it possible to study, at bench scale, how viral sensitizers affect Zika vaccine production. ![Bioreactor lab at the Max Planck Institute Magdeburg](https://www.p4b.io/hubfs/website/insights/mpi-lab.webp) An exciting milestone for p4b: our technology is now featured in a peer-reviewed article. In this work, the 3D-printed down-scaled reactors were used to mimic process conditions at two different scales. With our pDS vessels, the impact of viral sensitizers on the production of Zika vaccines could be studied at bench scale. The study shows how the technology can speed up process development. Congratulations to Sven Göbel and Yvonne Genzel's group at the MPI on this outstanding research, and thank you for trusting us as a collaboration partner.
