Stirred-tank bioreactor / fermentor BIOF-D series

laboratoryautomaticautomated

Short description
BIOF-D series dual-tank parallel bioreactor is designed for laboratories requiring simultaneous or independent culture and fermentation runs. The integrated host with 10.1-inch multi-touch HMI, Siemens SMART-200 PLC and LF-Control 2.0 software controls two glass vessels (nominal 1–15 L) with multi-pump support, online monitoring and data recording/export.

Key features

• Parallel dual-tank configuration for simultaneous or independent control of two glass fermenters (1–15 L nominal each).
• Integrated host with 10.1-inch high-end touch HMI and scalable expansion.
• BIOF-D2 controller: Siemens SMART-200 PLC with LF-Control 2.0 for curve display, historical data export and remote monitoring.
• Four standard peristaltic pumps for feed/antifoam; expandable via quick-release interfaces up to 8 pumps.
• Top-mounted mechanical stirring driven by high-precision servo motor, 0–1200 rpm, with selectable paddles (single-layer inclined, flat blade).
• High-quality mechanical seal (JOHN CRANE) and quick-install coupling for reliable assembly and contamination control.
• High-temperature borosilicate glass tanks with AISI 316L stainless steel lids; charging factor ≥80%.
• Temperature control by PT100 sensor and insulated electric heating blanket; control range +5–65 °C, sterilization capability up to 130 °C.
• Foam management via sensitive defoaming probe, mechanical defoaming paddle and peristaltic antifoam dosing.
• Sterile autoclavable sampling system; dual design supports flame inoculation as alternative.
• Air handling with Dwyer rotameter standard (electromagnetic optional) and Sartorius 0.2 μm sterilizing filters.

Controller / Instrumentation
BIOF-D2 controller with LF-Control 2.0: Siemens SMART-200 PLC, 10.1-inch HMI, standard cabinet with HSSP finish, common quick-release interfaces, curve display and historical data export; supports PC connection for centralized or remote monitoring and joint control.
