Product catalog summary
Overview: The MINIFOR Laboratory Fermentor-Bioreactor is a versatile instrument designed for various types of biological cultures, including microbial fermentation, cell culture, and tissue engineering. It is suitable for use in universities and life sciences schools.
Key Features:
  • Compact design with a footprint the size of an A4 paper, allowing for efficient use of bench space.
  • Independent operation or PC connectivity for advanced regulation and data processing.
  • Innovative design using glass vessels with threaded fittings for sterility and cost-effectiveness.
  • Infrared heating system with a parabolic radiator for gentle and uniform heat distribution.
  • Up-and-down agitation system with bio-mimicking 'fish-tail' stirring discs for efficient mixing without vortex formation.
  • Use of high-performance plastics to replace expensive equipment components.
Parameter Control:
  • Automatic regulation of pH, temperature, agitation, and dissolved oxygen (pO2).
  • Precise control of air flow rate with internal MASSFLOW system.
  • Optional measurement and control of additional parameters such as Redox potential, conductivity, and pCO2.
Customization and Accessories:
  • Available in various vessel sizes from 0.3L to 7L, with working volumes from 35ml to 6L.
  • Optional accessories include REDOX probe, OD measurement, gas-mix module, and fermentation software.
  • Parallel cultivation capability with multiple MINIFOR units connected to a PC without additional licenses.
Technical Specifications:
  • Universal power supply, LCD display, and precise temperature control with IR heating.
  • Multiple ports for sampling and additions, with up to 4 independent pumps for fluid handling.
  • Complete PC control and data processing using FNet or SIAM software.

LAMBDA MINIFOR bench-top laboratory fermenter and bioreactor - Leaflet-2

Based on long personal practical experience with fermentation and cell culture, we have designed an easy to use system with the capacity to measure and control all the important parameters of the biological culture. Dimension Size of an A4 paper (22 x 40 cm) The fermentor have to take up minimum space on the bench but with good access to all parts. Several fermentors should, when placed side by side, be suitable for the optimization of the parameters of growth of culture or optimization of bio-transformations etc. Parameter control Each fermentor should be able to work independently or be connected...
