Biopod Series Multi fermentor /
The biopod is a multi fermentor platform (POD) which enables multi-factorial fermentation runs, based on built-in biological recipes of culture for aerobic or anaerobic fermentation. The existing built-in recipes are capable of performing a fully automated batch, fed-batch or chemostat processes with pre-defined standard culture recipes, however also has the ability to customize recipes due to the modularity of the software platform.
Reduce and optimize R&D and Process Development
Available in single, twin, triple and up to 32 units. The biopod design and philosophy is based on the use of an ergonomic modular construction, housing the local controller as well as additional gasing, pump and various modules. This result in considerable savings in benchtop space, a Quad system (8 fermentors) is occupying less than 1 square meter (10.7 sq ft).
The local controller using biological reciped operation is pre-configured in a tower arrangement. It offers a comprehensive range of remote controlled strategies and up to 9 automated biological recipes. It also has a classic remote control cascadable PID control loops, x-stage cascade control for pO2, alarm monitoring, recipe control and password protection for critical system parameters.
Prove Scalable Results
Scalability to conventional fermentor has been proved with similar sensors, parameter control ability and performance.
Batch results obtained in routine with e.coli compare to production with shake flask is a significant advantage : higher yield with reduced production time and less space on the bench. |
