Infors HT - Model Techfors -Pilot Bioreactor

Flexibility and customization
Your bioprocess applications can be demanding. Custom-configure your own Techfors pilot bioreactor to meet your specific needs, bringing true flexibility to your laboratories, pilot plants, or production suites.

Detailed custom engineering and project planning
Our technology team will partner with you to build your ideal bioreactor, sharing their expertise and accompanying you from planning to installation and continued maintenance support.

Evolve your bioreactor as your processes change
Even after installation, your Techfors bioreactor design can be expanded with additional options, sensors, and analytical devices. For validated installations, you also receive additional documentation, upon request.

Stainless steel vessel    

• Working volume up to 660 L
• Double jacket made of 316L stainless steel
• Optionally with single or double mechanical seal
• Individually configurable with a selection of different impellers, spargers and special accessories
• Individually configurable no. ports for sensors (anti-foam, optical density, pH, pO2, redox, conductivity, live cell density, etc.)
• Pivoting vessel lid for easy access as an option
• Easy movement of the device possible with stable wheels (up to approx. 300 L)

High-performance pumps    

• Basic setup includes four easy-load precision pumps per culture vessel (option of two more)
• Gravimetric feeding (with external scale)

Gassing    

• Customer-specific gassing via rotameter or mass-flow regulator
• Cascades may be configured in serial or in parallel for controlling the pO2 via the stirrer speed, gassing rate, gas composition and pressure
• can be extended at any time

Sensors    

• Customers may choose from digital (Modbus) or analog sensors.
• Product calibration of the pH sensor for reliable measurements during long-running bioprocesses
• If required, additional sensors and actuators can be connected.
