How much does a bioreactor cost?

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.

Minifors 2 bench-top bioreactor now also for cell cultures

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.

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.
The 4 different types of stirred tank bioreactors (STRs)

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.

Multifors 3

A bioreactor designed for reproducible process development and technology transfer

The Multifors 3 bench-top bioreactor carries the complete control strategy into every run, not just setpoints, helping laboratories generate reproducible results and simplify technology transfer. Together with eve® bioprocess software, the strategy is defined in advance, understood and executed by Multifors 3, and documented end-to-end to improve consistency from one run to the next.
