Single & parallel autoclavable stirred mini-fermenter/bioreactor.
IO is a completely electrical mini fermenter/bioreactor with a fast and accurate thermoregulation system (without water circulation). With total volumes of 200ml or 1000ml, it represents an innovative device for process development and media optimization.
Features and benefits
1. Single-wall borosilicate glass vessel, with thermoregulation performed through a Peltier Cell (no need for an external chiller/water supply).
2. Different configurations available for microbial (aerobic/anaerobic) and cell culture applications, with the choice of Rushton/Marine/Pitched-Blade impellers and fluted/L-shaped sparger.
3. Wide range of measurement and control options, including temperature, pH, dO 2, dCO 2, redox, antifoam, level, conductivity, weight, cell density (total cells, viable cells).
4. Modbus digital sensors reduce background noise and guarantee quick response time.
5. Suitable for batch, fed-batch and continuous processes.
6. LEM01, the PLC-based control system supplied with the unit, integrates 4 fixed or variable speed peristaltic pumps.
7. Powerful and accurate (1 RPM) brushless motor.
8. Different gas mixing strategies with up to 5 TMFC and/or solenoid valves.
9. Gas out can be optionally integrated with a condenser with Peltier Cell.
10. Extremely compact system maximizes lab space.
11. IO can be equipped with the LEDA sterile sampling system as a bioreactor accessory.
