Testing Facility

Seamless Scale-Up

Flexible working volume from 50 mL to 20 L, covering early R&D through pilot-scale bioprocessing.

Smart & Compliant

Powered by BioFlex™ control software with digital twin, predictive analytics, inline PAT integration, and full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Technical Specifications

Scalable Working Volumes: 50 mL – 20 L; supports micro-scale, lab-scale, and pilot-scale applications.

Precision Control: Independent gas blending (O₂, CO₂, N₂, air), up to 8 MFCs per rack, and 8 precision peristaltic pumps per vessel for fed-batch, perfusion, or continuous operation.

Agitation & Temperature: Direct drive agitation (0–2000 rpm), jacketed glass or Peltier modules, ±0.1 °C stability across all reactors.

Connectivity & Compliance: Inline PAT (biomass, off-gas, OD/turbidity, dissolved CO₂, Raman/IR), OPC UA/MQTT/REST API, Python/MATLAB scripting, SCADA/MES ready, SIP/CIP and autoclavable vessel options, fully GMP-compliant.

Vessels

Extend your Bioreactors with a wide range of configurable vessels designed to support different scales, organisms, and applications.

Glass Vessels Benchtop Bioreactors (50 mL – 20 L)

Versatile single-wall or jacketed glass bioreactors for microbial and cell culture applications. Delivering precise temperature control, scalability and full sensor integration from 50mL to 20L. Ideal for R&D and process development.

Single-Use Vessels Benchtop Bioreactors (100 mL – 10 L)

Ready-to-use single-use bioreactors for microbial and cell culture processes. Scalable from 100 mL to 10 L, they offer fast setup, sterile operation, and reliable control-ideal for R&D, process development, and small-scale production.

Stainless Steel Benchtop Bioreactors (1 L – 20 L)

Durable stainless steel bioreactors for advanced microbial and cell culture applications. Scalable from 1 L to 20 L, they ensure precise control, clean-in-place operation, and long-term reliability for R&D, scale-up, and pilot production.

Air-Lift & Photobioreactors (100 mL – 20 L)

Innovative air-lift and photobioreactor systems for algae, photosynthetic microorganisms, and cell culture. Scalable from 100 mL to 20 L, they offer gentle mixing, efficient gas exchange, and optimal light distribution for research and production.

SmartBioFlex™ Control

Elevate your BioBook Compact bioreactor with BioFlex™ Software — a powerful, intuitive platform that simplifies process control, ensures regulatory compliance, and delivers real-time insights for smarter bioprocessing.

Seamless Integration

SmartBioFlex™ combines an industrial distributed control core with an intuitive web interface.

From Recipe to Data Export

Users build multiphase recipes via draganddrop cascades, monitor critical parameters remotely and export encrypted data directly to LIMS.

Audit Trails and Onboarding

A complete audit trail supports regulatory inspections, while onboarding guidance assists less experienced operators.
