Autoclavable photobioreactor for microalgae and bacteria cultivation
For researchers and professionals working with phototrophic organisms, maintaining precise growth conditions is crucial for reproducible and scalable results. Challenges include effective light delivery, temperature regulation, and sterility, which are essential for studies on Moss, Microalgae, Bacteria, and plant cells.
Cultivate phototrophic organisms with precise control
The ELARA ST by Solaris Biotech is a stirred, jacketed photobioreactor designed to provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of phototrophic organisms. The system features a 14 L borosilicate glass vessel with a 3:1 H/D ratio, and offers different configurations of impellers and spargers tailored to specific needs. Measurement and control options encompass key parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, dissolved CO2, redox potential, antifoam, level, conductivity, weight, and cell density. The Modbus digital sensors ensure minimal background noise and swift response times. Suitable for batch, fed-batch, and continuous processes, the photobioreactor is powered by a robust brushless motor with 1 RPM accuracy. For enhanced flexibility, the ELARA ST includes options for integrating up to 4 analog input/output connections and diverse gas mixing strategies. Its fully removable and cleanable glass jacket improves heat transfer during autoclaving, while an advanced light module offers customizable light intensity and circadian cycle simulation. The system is controlled by LEONARDO 3.0 SCADA software, enabling automated management and remote control.
