Mini Bioreactor System

Infors HT?s Multifors system includes almost everything for common microbial or cell culture fermentation processes, such as batch, fed-batch or continuous operation. All this is especially designed for multiple-parallel applications using small volumes, so making it ideal for screening applications. Exact and precise fermentation operations are assured for parallel studies. The use of removable autoclavable pump heads mounted on a plate makes preparations for autoclaving and subsequent set up much simpler. The vessels remain in a holder even in use and reagent bottles plus sample devices can be mounted on the same frame for both autocalving and operation. The powerful stirrer motor is magnetically coupled from the bottom, featuring excellent oxygen transfer comparable to a directly driven system. Easy access is provided to all controls and the gas supply system is mounted on an open frame at the rear of the unit. The operating panel is mounted above the gassing system and can be removed for relocation. Up to three base units (six vessels) can be independently controlled from a single X-DDC panel and values for all units displayed on a single overview screen. Additional operating panels can be added to existing base units easily to allow for future expansion or splitting a group into smaller functional units. Key applications for Multifors include continuous culture, media and process development, strain selection and improvement, toxicity testing and scale-down studies.
