Small scale fermentor/bioreactor for multi-condition bioprocessing

Explore diverse fermentation conditions with precision control, ideal for small-scale bioprocessing applications that demand flexibility and accuracy in environments from R&D labs to pilot-scale setups.

Facilitates Small-Scale Cultivation and Fermentation

The Small Scale Fermentor/Bioreactor from Marubishi Bioengineering is a versatile culture device designed for R&D departments and laboratories focusing on biopharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and enzymes. Its autoclavable design accommodates small-scale, bench-top fermentation processes, making it ideal for multi-condition testing. The vessel, crafted from reinforced glass and stainless steel, ensures durability and compatibility with various chemical processes. This equipment allows precise control of fermentation conditions, including temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen, utilizing a bottom drive stirring mechanism adjustable from 100 to 1000 rpm. Airflow ranges from 0.03 to 1.0 L/min, with pH adjustments via a peristaltic pump at 5.3 ml/min. Capable of real-time measurements and control, it integrates seamlessly into existing lab setups, enhancing productivity and efficiency. The unit supports the testing and cultivation of products like insulin, monoclonal antibodies, probiotics, and bioplastics. With multiple vessel sizes available, end-users can tailor the setup to specific needs, ensuring compliance with stringent industry standards.
