Single-Use Event 2026 is a one-day industry exhibition and networking forum focused on the latest developments in single-use technology for bioprocessing, biotechnology and (bio)pharmaceutical manufacturing. Attendees can explore cutting-edge products and solutions through tabletop presentations, hear insights from expert speakers and connect with peers, suppliers and innovators shaping the future of bioprocess technologies.
How much a bioreactor costs is a critical factor to potential buyers. However, there is no generalized answer to this, without some definitions in the form of a User Requirement Specification (URS). This defines what you need in detail to meet specific goals and the criteria for success. These factors must be decided before you can look for possible solutions.
The COBBIND event in Campos do Jordão - SP is an esteemed conference that unites leading figures and emerging minds across the domains of cognitive science, biology, and biomedical disciplines. This distinguished gathering is designed to showcase cutting-edge developments, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and stimulate the exchange of scientific insights. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a series of expert-led keynote presentations, interactive panel discussions, and specialized workshops, addressing a spectrum of topics from neurobiology and cognitive psychology to advanced biotechnological applications and medical innovations. COBBIND serves as a pivotal platform for professionals to expand their knowledge, connect with peers, and explore innovative solutions in the dynamic fields of science and medicine.
This application note outlines the implementation and benefits of using a dissolved oxygen soft-sensor to monitor biomass concentration and specific growth rate in biotechnological manufacturing, enabling real-time process control and optimization.
INFORS HT expands the product portfolio for cell culture applications. The Minifors 2 bench-top bioreactor, which won the iF Gold Award for its user-friendly design, is now available in a new version. The proven concept – a compact bioreactor system which has comprehensive features and is easy to operate – remains the same. The Minifors 2 is a preconfigured complete package with which users can quickly start their cell culture processes without time-consuming installation. The culture vessel, which is available in three sizes, is fully equipped with a digital pH sensor and optical pO2 sensor, temperature sensor, exhaust gas cooler, (anti-)foam sensor, sparger, sampling system and up to three additional freely available ports. The culture vessel is operated on a compact base unit with four freely configurable pumps and a touch screen as the operating unit. The cell culture version additionally offers five fully automatic gas lines and can additionally control external pumps via two analogue inputs and outputs. In addition, the bioreactor can be optionally expanded by biomass sensors, exhaust gas analysis and an external scale for gravimetric feeding.With these additional options and the connection to the eve® platform software, bioprocesses can be understood even more easily and optimized further.Thanks to the integrated and intuitive touch screen software, the Minifors 2 remains easy to operate, despite the comprehensive features. The intuitive software provides multilingual step-by-step guidance through all functions, such as calibration of the sensors. If needed, brief texts with information on components and applications can be displayed.“Especially for beginners who need a ready-to-use and easy-to-handle bioreactor for their cell culture applications, we consider the Minifors 2 for cell cultures to be an interesting alternative to single-use bioreactors,” says Daniel Egger, marketing director at INFORS HT.
The most important bioreactor for industrial applications is the conventional stirred tank reactor (STR), due to its high flexibility and low operating costs. Bioreactor purchases are often subjected to more scrutiny and debate than many other items of equipment of similar complexity and cost. The choice and sheer number of different systems can seem daunting. This article throws light upon the 4 major types of STR bioreactors used in bioprocess technology.
Freeing a port on a small bioreactor can increase its capability. We give you some practical examples how to allow a small bioreactor to outperform its original design limitations.
