Product Overview
BIOF-A Series advanced lab bioreactor for cell culture and microbial fermentation, controlled by the Bioreactek® platform. Provides precise process control, scalable architecture and multiple external-device integrations for laboratory workflows.

Key Features

• Designed for cell culture and bacterial fermentation
• Tank capacities: 1 L, 3 L, 5 L, 10 L, 15 L
• Single-layer glass or jacketed glass tank options
• 4 × Watson-Marlow high-accuracy peristaltic pumps
• 2 × Dwyer air & O2 inlet flow meters; Vogtlin MFC optional
• 10" capacitive touchscreen HMI (Bioreactek® 2nd gen)
• Siemens PLC, Schneider electrical components, Sartorius filters, Mettler Toledo / Hamilton probes
• Supports external balance, exhaust gas analysis, biomass/online cell monitoring, ORP, TFF
• Automatic ventilation and bus-mode communication for peripherals

Design & Operation
The system uses industrial-grade components and an ergonomic HMI: quick-release fittings, premium drives, aviation-grade connectors and imported sensors for long-term laboratory use. Controller software supports data logging, user management and external device connectivity.
