Process bioreactor / fermentor biorREACTOR 8

for the pharmaceutical industryautomatedfor parallel synthesis

2mag bioREACTOR is an extremely space-saving and user-friendly bioreactor block with 8 parallelized minireactors. The high parallelisation allows an easy realisation of high-throughput fermentations in the biotechnological, chemical or pharmaceutical research. This strongly reduces development time and costs for new production processes. Miniaturisation into the low millilitre scale (8-15 ml) provides a significant saving of material and process costs. The 2mag bioREACTOR is characterised by an exactly controllable stirring speed with automatic stirrer monitoring as well as precise non-invasive real time measurement of pH and dissolved oxygen (DO). Gassing and mixing of the culture vessels is provided by the gas inducing, inductive stirring elements. The sterile headspace gassing prevents cross and foreign contamination and enables the cultivation of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. Precisely defined process engineering parameters and the power and oxygen input (kLa > 0.4 s-1), which is comparable to classic stirred tank reactors, ensure simple and reliable scaling of the results. The bioREACTOR 8 can be operated as standalone or fully automated by integration into a pipetting robot. Parallelization The bioREACTOR is available in two model variants with 8 or 48 parallel reactors. A still higher parallelisation can be achieved by simoultaneous use of several bioREACTOR units.
