Benchtop bioreactors for microbial fermentation
When developing bioprocesses at a lab scale, precise control and scalability are crucial. Researchers often face challenges such as maintaining optimal conditions for cell cultivation and microbial fermentation, managing multiple batches, and ensuring reproducibility across experiments.

Achieve scalable microbial fermentation
The Sartorius range of benchtop bioreactors offers scalable solutions for microbial fermentation. These bioreactors are designed to accommodate both batch and continuous processing methods. Available in both single-use and autoclavable multi-use vessels, with capacities ranging from 250 mL to 10 L, these systems ensure flexibility and ease of use. Sartorius bioreactors are equipped with advanced control systems to monitor and adjust critical parameters, such as pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen, to maintain optimal growth conditions. Specific models, such as the Biostat® B and Biostat® B-DCU, allow independent control of up to two culture units, supporting diverse experimental needs. This versatility makes them ideal for both small-scale research and process development applications, aimed at larger-scale production.
