The HABITAT photo cell control tower includes LED panels essential for transforming your HABITAT research bioreactor into a photobioreactor. It enables precise monitoring and control of various bioprocesses and, as a photobioreactor, it is ideal for applications involving photosynthetic organisms, such as algae cultivation.
Photobioreactors facilitate the growth of photosynthetic organisms by providing controlled light exposure and environmental conditions, crucial for processes like biofuel production and carbon dioxide sequestration.
The system includes two LED panels, the control unit with all connection options for the gas supply, liquid addition, sensors and temperature control as well as a tablet for simple and clear operation of the bioreactor.
Control and monitoring
The intuitive software allows easy control and monitoring of the bioprocess and associated parameters via a 10.4-inch tablet. Users can select from batch, fed-batch, and perfusion/continuous operating modes, catering to various cell culture techniques. The innovative Chaotic Mixing function enables efficient and homogeneous mixing when required. The control software provides clear calibration management, real-time data visualization, and complete process documentation, ensuring compliance with FDA CFR Part 11 requirements (optional).
Gas supply
Precise and adjustable gassing is achieved through four individual built-in mass flow controllers for four each separate gas line (N2, O2, air and CO2), enabling flow rates of 0.01 – 2 L / min. tailored to cell growth requirements. By using the integrated and freely customizable cascade control system,
