Autoclave glass 1-20 l
In the laboratory bioreactor and fermentor range Applikon is
worldwide market leader because of its dependable and easy to use
systems. The bioreactors and fermentors excel in quality and
modularity. An Applikon laboratory system is easy to upgrade if a
change in research activities occurs. Applikon offers glass
autoclavable bioreactors for cell culture applications and glass
autoclavable fermentors for microbial culture applications. The
systems are built according to the specific demands of a process
using an extensive array of standard components. Because of the
modularity and flexibility, the user can always adapt the systems
to changed process demands. This results in low initial investment
and low running costs. The stirred tank reactor (STR) is the most
widely used bioreactor type. Glass autoclavable bioreactors and
fermentors are available in 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 15 and 20 liter
total volume.
Features of the glass autoclavable
bioreactors:
Wide range of volumes with interchangeable modules
- Wide range of modules to tailor the systems to the research
demands
- No welded parts in the bioreactor topplate
- Simple set-up and easy to handle
- Optional high torque magnetically coupled agitator
- All metal parts are constructed of stainless steel 316L to
guarantee resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride
environments
- Mirror polished finish of non product contact stainless steel
surface
- Electropolished finish of product contact stainless steel parts
ease cleanability
- Glass dished bottom vessels are made of borosilicate glass to
guarantee:
- the best resistance to thermal shock
- excellent corrosion resistance
- smooth, non porous surface for easy cleaning
- optimal transparency for visual inspection of the culture
- Glass bioreactor vessels can be used up to 0.5 barg (7.25 psig)
of overpressure.
