INFORS HT launches Multifors 3 bench-top bioreactor for process development

Finally: A new bench-top bioreactor platform that knows what matters, carrying the complete control strategy, not just setpoints, into every run, with process control designed to support GMP-ready environments from 100 mL to 10 L working volume. 

Multifors 3 is what bench-scale parallel bioprocessing should look like in 2026. It's built around a simple idea: the bioreactor should capture and retain the information that matters, so scientists can focus on their process. PID settings, cascades, hardware configuration, and sensor metadata are documented automatically, helping teams reproduce the complete process configuration. It executes the full process control strategy end-to-end and supports both microbial fermentation and cell culture processes on one platform, with single-use vessel compatibility from multiple established manufacturers. Multifors 3 is designed to maintain local process control independently of network or software connection availability, while supporting FAT/SAT qualification and deployment in GMP environments, giving laboratories confidence throughout process development and beyond.

INFORS HT has spent years developing Multifors 3 with its users in mind, resulting in a platform built around four design principles that address everyday constraints in bioprocess work and reflect what the company believes the industry standard should look like at this scale.
