Elimination of expensive head plates in MINIFOR bench-top fermentor and bioreactor

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document presents an easy-to-use and economical solution for switching vessel volumes using a single instrument. It highlights the benefits of using threaded glass vessels with screw caps for maintaining sterility and introduces a novel non-rotational bio-mixing technique.

Key Features:

Interchangeable Volumes: Allows for switching vessel volumes ranging from 35 ml to over 61 ml with one instrument.
Sterility Maintenance: The threaded glass vessel with screw caps ensures easy and long-term sterility maintenance.
Bio-Mixing Technique: The novel non-rotational bio-mixing method eliminates vortex formation, removing the need for baffles.

Reasons for Eliminating Head Plates:

Complicated setup and cleaning process.
Expensive spare parts and time-consuming setup.
Difficulties in making tight connections due to shallow threads.
Limited number of ports and the need to replace O-rings before each run.
Contamination risks due to O-ring flattening during sterilization.
Requirement for new head plates for each new vessel size.

Challenges with Large Vessels: Large vessels incur high medium costs, downstream costs, long sterilization and cooling times, and difficulties in disposing of infective material.
