Product OverviewBIOF-MT series multi-parallel fermenter is a laboratory-grade multi-parallel fermenter designed for parallel fermentation research, multi-condition exploration and comparative study of fermentation yield under different temperature, pH, DO, stirring and other conditions. Compared with traditional single-tank systems, it shortens development time and cycles exponentially.
Design & OperationIntegrated stainless-steel chassis design with a 15.6-inch high-definition touchscreen. Clear, user-friendly interface enabling operation of 3 to 9 parallel tank groups for laboratory research. Whole-machine stainless-steel finishes and IoT-capable control software enable online monitoring, recording and curve display.
Features (summary)- Tank design derived from established tank design thinking (Applikon / Sartorius style): convenient, replaceable components and rapid disassembly/assembly mechanism for laboratory operation.
- Tank materials and finish: AISI 316L stainless steel for lids and metal parts; high-temperature resistant borosilicate glass for tank bodies; fine grinding and electrolytic polishing comparable to imported products.
- Pump solution: BIOF-A four-way pump solution; each pump group supports variable-speed regulation; roller high-precision pump bodies for durability.
- Controller and software: LF-Control V 2.0 control software, built on Siemens S7-class PLC; 15.6-inch HD touchscreen; supports IoT control, historical data recording, curve display and export.
- Overall hygiene: stainless steel wire-drawn surfaces meeting hygiene and wear-resistance requirements.
