Bench-top Bioreactor
Labfors 5 for solid substrates
Your ideal bioreactor system for bioprocesses and enzymatic processes with solid substrates
Increase productivity and yield during your simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes, breaking down high concentrations of various raw materials, with this compact Labfors 5 bench-top bioreactor.
Advantages
Precise and gentle temperature control
By controlling the temperature of both the substrate and the double jacket, the two-fold system optimizes temperature control for the entire bioprocess, preventing overheating along the interior vessel wall, and keeping enzymatic activity high.
Ideal mixing capabilities
Because liquids and solids have different mixing properties, choose from a selection of stirrers for the right stirring system no matter what the substrate. With the high-torque, direct drive motor option, the system has enough power to also mix high concentrations of various raw materials.
Simplified data management
Further optimize your processes through automation. eve®, a web-based bioprocess platform software easily integrates with your bioreactors, so you can more efficiently control, monitor, and analyze your data.

What is a bioreactor and how does it work?
A bioreactor provides an ideal environment where cells can focus on what they are supposed to do: proliferate. Like lab workers, cells can only produce consistently good work if the conditions are right: it should not be too hot or too cold, and they have to have enough nutritious food and fresh air. In terms of a bioreactor, this means maintaining pH, temperature, ensuring sufficient gas supply and, depending on how the instrument has been configured, adding nutrients for successful maintenance of growth.

The difference between batch, fed-batch, and continuous processes
Supply of a substrate is a must for any bioprocess, even if it is just mineral salts, light and CO2 for algae. Usually, it is in the form of a sugar, which is either provided just at the start of a process or added over time. The choice of which method to use will depend on the organism, application and final goal.
