Description:
The BIOSTAT B is a benchtop fermenter/bioreactor designed for various biotechnological and biopharmaceutical applications. The main configuration of the system is developed for microorganisms cultivation such as bacteria, yeast and fungi, plus animal, plant and insect cell culture. The system can control two 2 L vessels independently, with the CONTROLLER module for the measurement and control capabilities of temperature, stirrer speed, pH and dissolved oxygen. In addition, the flexible aeration strategies allow air, oxygen and nitrogen flow control, providing different aerobic and anaerobic processes.
