Infors HT - Model Techfors S -Pilot Bioreactor

Easily scale-up from bench
Regardless of your experience in bioprocessing, the Techfors-S pilot bioreactor is easy to operate with 360-degree access to all system components, which are the same as our bench-top bioreactors, ranging from the sensor technology to gassing strategies.

Seamless data transfer
Easily transfer your data from R&D to process development with eve®, a web-based bioprocess platform software that integrates with your bioreactors so you can efficiently control, monitor, and analyze your data.

True collaboration from start to finish
Engage with our experienced engineering team to configure your Techfors-S bioreactor with the flexibility to define your utility connections, sensor technology, sample and harvest ports, automated steam sterilization, certification packages, and more.
