Labfors 5

The Labfors 5 is suitable for microorganisms, phototrophic organisms as well as solid subtrates and enzymatic bioprocesses. There are almost no limits to its uses.

Features:
• Working volumes ranging between 0.5 and 10 L
• Can be configured according to individual needs thanks to a selection of different stirrers, spargers, and specialized accessories
• Up to 14 ports for sensors (antifoam, optical density, pH, pO2, redox, conductivity, live cell density, etc.)
• No welded lid components—ideal for GMP applications
• Basic setup includes four precision pumps per culture vessel (option of one more)
• Autoclavable pump heads
• Gravimetric feeding (with external scale)
• Profile-based pump-speed control with eve®
• Customer-specific gassing with up to 5 gas lines
• Feed via rotameter or mass-flow regulator
• The Cascades may be configured in serial or in parallel for controlling the pO2 via the stirrer speed, gassing rate, gas composition, etc.
• Customers may choose from digital (Modbus) or analog sensors.
• Product calibration of the pH sensor for reliable measurements during long-running bioprocesses
• If required, additional sensors and actuators can be connected.
• Touchscreen with integrated OPC server
• Reliable measurement and setting of the bioprocess parameters and communication with eve®
• Parallel management and control of up to six devices
• Up to 24 selectable parameters, such as temperature, stirring speed, pH, pO2, anti-foaming agent, feed
• Planning, controlling, and analyzing bioprocesses
• Integrated workflows, devices, and bioprocess knowledge
• Integrates bioreactors and analytical instruments, regardless of the manufacturer
• Web-based project organization
• Communication using the latest OPC UA (Minifors 2) or OPC XML-DA standard (Multifors 2, Labfors 5, Techfors-S, Techfors)
• Synchronisation of process-related events such as sampling or inoculation
