Reactor systems

1. A reactor system comprising:

a) a mobile carriage assembly holder comprising an interior into which a mobile carriage assembly may be removably inserted, the holder comprising:

i) a receiving implement comprising at least one wheel or track for receiving the mobile carriage assembly; and,

ii) a door for securing the mobile carriage assembly within the interior of the holder following insertion of the mobile carriage assembly into the holder;

b) a mobile carriage assembly comprising:

i) at least one primary mobility implement comprising at least one wheel or track for moving the mobile carriage assembly prior to insertion of the mobile carriage assembly into the holder;

ii) secondary mobility implements, each secondary mobility element comprising at least one wheel or track, wherein:

1) the secondary mobility implements are not in contact with the ground prior to or following insertion of the mobile carriage assembly into the holder;

2) at least one secondary mobility implement is proximal to the receiving implement and at least one secondary mobility implement is distal from the receiving implement prior to insertion of the mobile carriage assembly into the holder;

3) the secondary mobility implements provide for insertion of the mobile carriage assembly into the holder, and removal of the mobile carriage assembly from the holder, using the receiving implement of the holder; and,

iii) a shaft and impellar assembly; and,

c) a disposable reaction container removably attached to the mobile carriage assembly that, when removably attached to the mobile carriage assembly:

1) comprises an interior chamber in which reaction components may be reacted with one another;

2) encloses the shaft and impellar assembly; and,

3) separates the reaction components from the external environment.

2. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the carriage holder comprises a heat transfer jacket.

3. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the disposable reaction container comprises a sparge.

4. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the holder:

i. provides for heating and/or cooling of the reaction components within the reaction container;

ii. comprises a door for maintaining the reaction container separated from the exterior of the holder; and/or,

iii. comprises one or more anti-swirl and/or heat exchange baffles.

5. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the reaction is selected from the group consisting of a chemical process, a pharmaceutical process, and a biological process.

6. The reactor system of claim 5 wherein the biological process is selected from the group consisting of microbiological culture, mammalian cell culture, and plant cell culture.

7. The reactor system of claim 5 wherein the reaction is at least one step of a process for the production of a composition comprising a peptide, protein, nucleic acid, complex thereof, combination thereof.

8. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the holder comprises one or more vertical seams at which the holder may be opened and/or closed and further comprises one or more vertical hinges.

9. The reactor system of claim 8 wherein the one or more vertical hinges are positioned approximately opposite the one or more vertical seams.

10. A method for carrying out a reaction, the method comprising using a reactor system of claim 1 .

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the reaction is selected from the group consisting of a chemical process, a pharmaceutical process, and a biological process.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the biological process is selected from the group consisting of microbiological culture, mammalian cell culture, and plant cell culture.

13. The method of claim 10 wherein the reaction is at least one step of a process for the production of a composition comprising a peptide, protein, nucleic acid, complex thereof, combination thereof.

14. A reaction product produced using a method of claim 10 .

15. A reaction product produced using a reactor system of claim 1 .

16. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the primary mobility element comprises one or more tracks.

17. The reactor system of claim 16 wherein the primary mobility element comprises one or more wheels.

18. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the primary mobility element comprises one or more tracks.

19. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein each of the primary mobility element and the secondary mobility element comprises one or more wheels.

20. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the receiving implement comprises one or more tracks.

21. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the secondary mobility element comprises one or more wheels.

22. The reactor system of claim 1 wherein the receiving implement comprises one or more wheels.
