Autoclavable fermenters for small scale bioprocessing

Optimize your bioprocesses with configurable fermenters offering precise control over pressure, temperature, and nutrient mixing, ensuring consistent output quality for small batch production.

Facilitates Fermentation and Bioreaction Processes

The JUPITER from Solaris offers a versatile range of autoclavable mini-fermenters and bioreactors, specially designed for precise fermentation and bioreaction processes in biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical production. With configurable vessel sizes ranging from 2 to 10 liters, it accommodates various scales and techniques, including batch, fed-batch, and continuous operations. Equipped with PLC-based control and automation through innovative SCADA software, it ensures seamless monitoring and parallel control for up to 24 units. JUPITER supports a wide array of applications—from producing antibiotics and monoclonal antibodies to dietary supplements and bioplastics. The system’s energy-efficient brushless motor and optional digital sensors enhance operational efficiency, while its flexible material options maintain compatibility across diverse industries. Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, it features a removable glass jacket or heating blanket for thermoregulation and an innovative sterile sampling system ensuring up to 180 sterile samplings per batch. Compliant with industry standards, JUPITER integrates effortlessly into existing production lines, optimizing both lab-scale research and pilot studies.
