Automated laboratory fermenter

Laboratory fermentor with modern electronic control is a potential instrument in microbiological, bio-chemical and pharmaceutical research. It is most important for the development and optimisation of fermentation processes in the production of chemicals, antibiotics, enzymes and organic acids. To meet this need Murhopye has introduced an extremely flexible modular laboratory fermentor for the cultivation of micro organisms in a bath culture to a fully instrumented continuous culture system. This modular bench fermentor is simple in design and equipped to minimise aseptic preparation and handling. The main vessel is made of pyrex glass cylinder incorporating stainless steel top plate with 16-ports for various entries. Hollow baffle type heart exchanger serves the triple purpose to control the culture temperature, as a baffle and air sparger. Provision for inter-changeable sparger and stirrer makes this equipment most flexible to handle the manifold nature of the micro-organisms to be grown to meet their many environmental demands. Completely modular electronic control system controls the various parameters like ROM, air flow, pH, dissolved oxygen, foam and continuous culture, indicated in a digitally that can be connected to recorder. It is also available with computer interfacing with software.
