Open the catalog to page 1Based 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...

Can also be used as a standalone pump Glass out gas condenser Cooling loop (not included in 0.3L vessel kits) Overpressure valve Storage bottles pH & temperature probe pO2 probe Storage bottles for liquids with magnetic holders can get conveniently placed at the rear of the control unit Sterile sampling device...
Open the catalog to page 3Vessel volume and ports The LAMBDA MINIFOR bench-top laboratory fermenter and bioreactor was developed as a result of the need to construct a small laboratory fermentor for volumes from 35ml up to 6 liters. Vessel type: Working volume: Minimum (L) Maximum (L) Vessel dimension for autoclaving: Height (cm) Diameter (cm) Ports: No. of side necks ≈ Traditional no. of ports Red-Ox Potential (ORP) measurement The measurement of the Red-OX potential for the anaerobic culturing in MINIFOR can be done with the REDOX probe and the control unit. LAMBDA REDOX control unit connected to the MINIFOR...
