BIOF-SA New Generation Stainless Steel Fermenter

 

BIOF-SA series laboratory stainless steel fermenter is a special series specially developed by BioreactEK™ for laboratory users on the basis of the original B IOF-S standard series fermenter, which is specially used for the application scene of laboratory stainless steel fermenter. This series adheres to the design soul of “SMART – exquisite and intelligent”, and developed a standard equipment suitable for laboratory use, with a small footprint and flexible operation, and can meet most laboratory fermentation application scenarios. .

In order to realize the characteristics of small size and intelligence, the engineers made many bold attempts and applications in the overall design, including adopting the design idea of finishing the tank cover, introducing the overall scheme of the breathing filter in the pharmaceutical industry, absorbing and accepting the BioreactEK™ ultrafiltration pipeline. The design scheme of hygienic compact pipeline finally presents the design concept of “SMART”.

BIOF-SA series adopts a modular design, and the main circuit is made of hoses, which can realize the normal functions of the fermentation tank and the automatic sterilization function.

BIOF-SA series is suitable for use in the pilot scale of the laboratory. The overall matching and optional tanks are: 10L, 30L and 50L, and other tanks of various specifications can also be customized. For laboratory stainless steel fermentation tanks, BIOF-SA is undoubtedly an excellent choice for similar competing products in the current market.

Since the birth of the first-generation graphical interface, Bioreactek™ has received more and more customer feedback, and put forward many opinions on aesthetics and convenient use. Combining user feedback and abandoning the consistent graphic interface design features of fermentation tanks, in 2022, Bioreactek™ cooperated with a professional graphic design team to create a second-generation graphic interface with great visual impact and practicality.

The second-generation graphical interface uses the latest instrument panel design language to comprehensively update the dynamic numbers and dynamic graphics that users are most concerned about. Users can see the key data in the fermentation process at a glance by observing the digital dial without entering the secondary interface. For graphics, animations and dynamic presentations are made, which are more flexible and intuitive. Through the second-generation graphical interface, the user has a very accurate grasp of the parameters and status of the fermenter to make the fastest decision.

The graphical interface created by the professional design team has a great sense of design and practicality at the same time. Through the design, the data and operations that users care ab out are extremely convenient and easier to identify, which improves user familiarity and efficiency.
