Benchtop electric mini fermenter for process development

Optimize your process development with a compact benchtop fermenter, delivering precise thermoregulation and versatile configuration options for efficient fermentation and cultivation across various applications.

Facilitates Fermentation and Cultivation Processes

The Solaris Lab IO Benchtop Electric Mini Fermenter/Bioreactor stands out in precision fermentation and cultivation. Designed for biotech, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical applications, it employs a Peltier Cell for water-free thermoregulation, accommodating various microbial and cell cultures with its configurable impeller and sparger options. This unit excels in small-scale production, supporting processes such as batch, fed-batch, and continuous operations. Equipped with a PLC-based LEM01 control system, it integrates four peristaltic pumps and features Modbus digital sensors for rapid, noise-free data collection. Capable of remote monitoring and control via LEONARDO 3.0 SCADA software, it simplifies lab management. The system’s adaptability to multiple gas mixing strategies with up to five TMFC or solenoid valves, combined with options for condenser integration using a Peltier Cell, maximizes operational flexibility. Ideal for producing nutraceuticals, biosynthetic hormones, and biodegradable bioplastics, its compact design prioritizes lab space efficiency while ensuring seamless integration and minimal maintenance.
