Fermenters Bioreactors

Fermenters and bioreactors are used to cultivate anaerobic cells and microorganisms for energy conversion, respiration without oxygen, and producing compounds like proteins, chemicals, or drugs.

They are suitable for both research applications, such as microbiology studies and pilot experiments, and industrial applications like large-scale production of biomolecules or pharmaceuticals.

Yes, they are designed to support the growth and propagation of a wide variety of microorganisms and anaerobic cells.

Many systems are designed with modular features or configurations that can be adjusted to meet specific cultivation or production needs.

They are commonly used in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, agriculture, and environmental research industries.

Key factors include the scale of operation (laboratory, pilot, or industrial), the type of microorganism or cell being cultivated, and the specific process requirements like temperature, pH control, and agitation.

Yes, most fermenters and bioreactors are equipped with sensors and control systems for monitoring critical parameters like temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and agitation rates.

A fermenter typically refers to equipment designed for anaerobic processes, while bioreactors can support both aerobic and anaerobic processes, making them more versatile.

Many modern fermenters and bioreactors can integrate with automation systems for enhanced process efficiency and consistency.

Outputs can include proteins, enzymes, biofuels, antibiotics, and other biochemical compounds depending on the organism and process used.
