Lab-scale microalgae cultivation system
When researching microalgae cultivation in the lab, obtaining precise control over environmental conditions is critical. Ensuring optimal light, temperature, and carbon dioxide levels can significantly impact growth rates and biomass quality.
Control growth conditions for optimal microalgae cultivation
The Subitec LS6 is a compact lab-scale system for cultivating microalgae with a culture volume of 6 liters. Using a Flat-Panel-Airlift-Photobioreactor, it allows for precise management of growth parameters, including light intensity, temperature, and CO2 levels. This system offers a high photosynthetic surface area of 0.6 square meters, despite its small footprint, enabling high-density cultures. Integrated LED grow lights and an efficient airlift system improve CO2 transfer and minimize shear stress, which is essential for fastidious microalgae. The hermetically sealed design ensures contamination-free production, making it suitable for high-value or genetically modified microalgae. This system is ideal for companies needing a reliable lab-scale production solution for research or initial industrial-scale operations. Supplier: Subitec GmbH.
