HABITAT ferment Bioreactors IKA
The HABITAT ferment control tower package is designed for fermentation applications, providing comprehensive monitoring and control of the bioprocess. This package includes a control unit with versatile connection options for gas supply, liquid addition, sensors, and temperature control, along with a user-friendly tablet for seamless operation of the bioreactor.
Control and Monitoring: Easily monitor and control the bioprocess and associated parameters using the tablet connected to the control unit and the intuitive software. Choose between batch, fed-batch, and perfusion/continuous operating modes, and utilize the new Chaotic Mixing function for faster and more effective mixing. The 10.4-inch tablet provides direct access to all actuators on the main screen. Calibration management, diagram overview, and complete process documentation are all included. Optionally, a software version compliant with FDA CFR Part 11 requirements is available.
Gas Supply: Built-in mass flow controllers for four separate gas lines (N2, O2, air, and CO2) ensure precise and individually adjustable gassing, perfectly tailored to your cells’ needs. Achieve flow rates ranging from 0.1 to 20 l/min.
Liquid Supply: Four integrated Watson Marlow pumps, with adjustable direction and speed, provide versatility in pumping different liquids (such as acid, base, anti-foam agent, and feeding solutions) in and out.
Sensors: The HABITAT ferment control tower enables the measurement of various parameters using sensors, including pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, filling level, and foam.
Temperature Control: Constant and precise temperature control during cultivation is guaranteed by the heating sleeve, adapted to the respective vessel size. (Heating sleeve included with the HABITAT cell vessel package).
