Bioreactors and fermenters

Bioreactors and fermentors are specialized vessels used in biotechnological processes to cultivate organisms or cells under controlled conditions. Bioreactors are typically employed in the production of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and other biochemicals, providing an environment where factors like temperature, pH, oxygen, and nutrient supply can be precisely managed to optimize cell growth and product yield. Fermentors, a subset of bioreactors, are specifically designed for fermentation processes, where microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi convert organic substrates into desired products like alcohol, organic acids, or antibiotics.

Eppendorf bioreactors

Eppendorf bioreactors (long known as New Brunswick) have long been known as one of the most reliable systems for cell culture. From small volume systems for process conditions to multi-ton vessels, Eppendorf has solutions for all needs.

Biosan bioreactors

The company manufactures small (up to 50 ml volume) bioreactors that can non-invasively monitor cell growth.
