MINIFOR fermentor and bioreactor was developed with innovations breaking down the stereotypes based on the personal experiences in the laboratory. The innovations introduced are done periodically with reference to the difficulties faced while working with the traditional fermentor and bioreactor in the laboratory.

RELIABLE PERISTALTIC PUMPS FOR CONTINUOUS CULTURES
Highly reliable pumps with reproducible flow rates for bioprocessing techniques The unique tubing compression technique for long tubing life and long-term stability of flow rates even with low-cost tubing Flow rates remain constant for several weeks without the risk of tubing rupture in long-term experiments like continuous cultures, chemostat, perfusion Variable speed pump for better […]

SELF-CLEANING MICROSPARGER
Self-cleaning micro-sparger of MINIFOR which due to its elasticity releases any deposit formed on the sparger orifice and guarantees gas inflow at all times without interruption.

OUTGAS / EXIT GAS MEASUREMENT: % CO2, % O2, % CH4
OUTGAS / EXIT GAS MEASUREMENT: % CO2, % O2, % CH4 LAMBDA Laboratory Instruments offers the following outgas/exit gas measurement units for bench-top bioreactor systems beside off total flow measurements: LAMBDA CARBOMETER measures the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) LAMBDA OXYMETER measures the concentration of oxygen (O2) LAMBDA METHAMETER measures the concentration of methane (CH2)

COMPACT FERMENTOR SYSTEM WITH SMALLEST FOOTPRINT
Smallest fermentor system footprint with control unit Comparable to the size of an A4 sheet for all working volumes (35 ml to 6 L) Extremely compact fermentor system than any other system in the market Weight of LAMBDA MINIFOR fermentor unit: only 7.5 kg Perfectly accessible from all sides The footprint of the LAMBDA MINIFOR […]

FERMENTATION CONTROL SOFTWARE
LAMBDA MINIFOR fermenters and bioreactors include all the electronics for visualizing and regulating 6 parameters (temperature, pH, DO, air flow rate, agitation and one free parameter ‘X’). However, the fermenters and bioreactors can get connected to process control software (PCS) for completely automatic control, data acquisition and real-time visualization of parameters and their settings: FNet […]
