Frequently Asked Question(s):
What is a fermenter in microbiology?
A fermentor / bioreactor is essentially a container where cells -- both microbial and mammalian, can grow happily and live lives to their fullest. It is like a five-star hotel offering total control over the most critical cell structure parameters, including: temperative, dissolved oxygen, pH, carbon dioxide, cell density, glucose and metabolites concentration, etc. Air filters and sterile connections ensure that no contaminants are let in through the vessel. Growing cells in a bioreactor is the best way to study them and to obtain standardized / reproducible protocols.
What type of fermenter/ bioreactors does Solaris offer?
There are different types of bioreactors such as airlift, bubble column, fluidized bed, packed bed and stirred tank bioreactors. Solaris offers stirred tank bioreactors which are most widely used in Bioprocess industry for suspension cultures and microcarrier based cultures. Solaris offers reusable stirred tank bioreactors with working volume range of 0.20 to 30000 L, consisting of benchtop bioreactors to pilot/ industrial scale bioreactors. Solaris also provides customized bioreactors designed for your specific bioprocess application.
What materials are your bioreactors and fermenters made of?
Solaris autoclavable benchtop bioreactors are manufactured in borosilicated glass and stainless-steel AISI 316.
What are the advantages of benchtop bioreactors?
Benchtop bioreactor studies is a crucial step in the development of fermentation process. Benchtop bioreactors studies are used for strain screening, media, and process parameters optimization, feeding profile optimization, and identifying critical process parameters for scaling up the process. Lower initial cost and low up-keep of auto-clavable benchtop bioreactors makes them ideal for testing various ideas in research and development labs.
