Autoclave SST 20 - 110 l
The stirred tank reactor (STR) is the most widely used
bioreactor type. Applikon offers a unique product, the Bio Clave,
as an autoclavable stainless steel bioreactor for cell culture and
microbial culture applications.

The Bio Clave bioreactors are versatile, easy to use systems
that offer economical alternatives to steam-in-place bioreactors
and fermentors The Bio Clave range combines the advantages of both
the steam-in place bioreactor (robust design and pressurizable) and
the glass autoclavable bioreactors (flexibility and modularity).
The 316L stainless steel vessels are constructed according to the
latest standard on hygienic processing and cGMP. The interior
finish of the vessel is electropolished to Ra=0.4µm, while the
exterior is mirror polished. The high-grade surface finish secures
a better cleanability. 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 Bio Clave bioreactor and fermentor are available in 20, 70
and 110 liter total volume. All systems are equipped with a top
driven stirrer who can be either a magnetically coupled or a
lipsealed stirrer system.
Bioreactors and fermentors
Applikon Bio Clave bioreactor and fermentor systems are designed
for maximum flexibility in setting up. The reactor headplate only
has entry ports and no welded pipes. This means that the systems
can be completely customized for the user's application. When the
application changes, the bioreactor set-up can easily be adapted to
the changed process demands. Headplates are made of 316L stainless
steel and all parts in the bioreactors have an electropolished
finish that ensures reliable cleanability of the vessel and
components. Vessels can be used up to 3.1 barg of
overpressure.
Lipseal or Magnetic Stirrers.
