Biostat A - Benchtop Bioreactor

BIOSTAT® A Bioreactors and Fermentors

Your Professional Start in Cell Cultivation and Microbial Fermentation
BIOSTAT® A is an entry-level bench top bioreactor | bioreactor fermentation designed for easy control of cell growth and fermentation. It is therefore ideal for educational purposes.

Top Features of Laboratory Bioreactors

Simple and Automatic Aeration Control
The new aeration system of the Biostat® A provides continuous automatic flow control over the full range of each gas used. As a result, Biostat® A does not require any manual adjustment of flow meters and therefore eliminates problems with pulsed aeration. Setting up the bioreactor is straightforward: Just connect the aeration tubing, configure the aeration profile, enter the DO setpoint – that’s it! For cell culture applications, interfaces for four gases (air, O2, CO2 and N2) are available for DO and pH control. The microbial version features two gas lines (air and O2) for DO control.

Integrated Chiller for Microbial Fermentation
Allows fermentation in any laboratory and minimizes water usage. You won’t need to worry about finding a suitable water cooling source for your bioreactor.

Intuitive Operation Even Outside the Laboratory
Thanks to the intuitive user interface, operating the Biostat® A is ideal for beginners, reduces operating errors and speeds up training.
