Bench-top Bioreactor
Multifors 2
Manage multiple bioreactor vessels in parallel while mitigating risks during scale-up.
Increase efficiency during process development and characterization by configuring your Multifors® 2 bench-top bioreactor with the same sensor technology as your production bioreactor systems.Advantages
Maximum options while minimizing contamination risks
The magnetic drive system allows for maximum headplate ports and ergonomics while minimizing the contamination risk and wear on components; capable of 1600 RPM operation for extended continuous batches.
Increase productivity and minimize downtime within existing lab space
Save time, space, and resources with optimized parallel bioprocessing, operating up to 6 Multifors® bioreactor vessels from one touchscreen control. With a small footprint and robust housing, you can make the most of your bench space.
Easily scale-up your process
Be prepared to scale-up from the bench using the same sensor technologies as the larger scale bioreactors, delivering comparable data. Optional PAT tools are available to offer a straightforward way of preparing for later production at bench or pilot-scale bioreactors.
