Fermentation monitor for alcohol production

Optimize anaerobic yeast fermentations with precise monitoring of carbon conversion rates, enhancing efficiency in ethanol and bioethanol production while facilitating advanced research applications.

Monitors and Analyzes Anaerobic Fermentation Processes

The Applikon Alcohol Fermentation Monitor from Applikon Biotechnology is a robust laboratory system engineered for simultaneous anaerobic fermentations. It uniquely allows precise monitoring and analysis of carbon conversion and gas evolution in up to six parallel fermentations, utilizing magnetically coupled stirrers and Pt-100 sensors for accurate temperature control. Designed for yeast research and alcohol production, this system ensures reliable data for ethanol, bioethanol, and biofuel production. The monitor supports integration with existing laboratory systems, offering user-friendly control and data analysis software that automates report generation. Constructed to handle viscous media, it provides consistent performance in demanding laboratory environments.
