Small Scale Bioreactor - An Efficient Method of Cultivating Microorganisms on a Compact Scale
Small Scale Bioreactors Laboratory Bioreactors provide an efficient method for cultivating microorganisms on a compact scale suitable for research, development and small-scale production purposes. Compared to flask shaking cultures which are labour intensive and provide poor process control, bioreactors automate mixing, aeration and other parameters to create ideal growth conditions. This allows for consistent, scalable experimentation and manufacturing even with limited space and budgets. Types of Small Scale Bioreactor There are several types of Laboratory Small Scale Bioreactors suitable for different applications and throughput needs: Benchtop Bioreactors Benchtop systems are self-contained, compact units designed for cultivation volumes between 100ml to 5 liters. They connect directly to utilities and feature integrated controls and sensors for parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature and foam level. Automated mixing is provided by either axial or radial...
