HABITAT photo cell IKA Bioreactors
The HABITAT photo cell IKA Bioreactors research bioreactor is an essential tool for monitoring and controlling bioprocesses. This package is versatile and can be used as a photobioreactor, for instance, for algae cultivation, with LED panels included for this purpose. The system allows for the adjustment of light intensity, enabling the simulation of day-night rhythms. Additionally, the package includes a control unit with various connection options for gas supply, liquid addition, sensors, and temperature control, along with a tablet for easy and clear operation of the bioreactor.
Control and Monitoring: Easily control and monitor 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 0.01 to 2 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 cell allows for the measurement of various parameters using sensors, including pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, filling level, and foam.
Temperature Control: The heating sleeve, adapted to the respective vessel size, ensures constant and precise temperature control during cultivation. (Heating sleeve included with the HABITAT cell vessel package).
