Minifors 2
The Minifors 2 is a compact and easy-to-use bioreactor with a full range of application possibilities. It is a complete package that enables both, beginners and experienced users to easily perform applications.
Features:
• Available in total volumes of 1.5 L, 3 L, and 6 L
• Quick and easy change between culture vessel sizes
• Rounded flat vessel bottom: Low minimum working volume, good mixing, stability with or without a vessel holder
• Safe sampling without any dead volume: INFORS HT Super Safe Sampler
• Intelligent design for easy access to all ports
• Sufficient ports, for standard fittings and extra inlets, immersion tubes, and sensors
• 4 x 7.5 mm: addition ports available for acid, base, feed & 1 free
• 4 x 10 mm: sparger, anti-foam system, temperature sensor, sampling/harvest
• Maximum 7 x 12 mm (Pg13.5): pH, pO2, exhaust gas cooler, and inoculation are pre-allocated, 3 are freely available
• Convenient, tool-free cleaning and maintenance thanks to knurled screws
• 4 High-performance pumps
• Configurable operating mode: digital (fixed-speed) or analog (variable speed)
• 3 x fix (acid, base, antifoam), 1 x variable (feed)
• Autoclavable pump heads
• Gravimetric feeding with dosing mode (requires external scale)
• Profile-based pump-speed control (with eve®)
• 2 analog inputs/outputs to connect external pumps (version for cell cultures)
• 2 integrated MFC for air, air/O2, or air/N2 (version for microorganisms)
• 5 integrated MFC for air, O2, N2, CO2, and head space gassing (version for cell cultures)
• Integrated pressure sensor for detecting a blocked filter
• Gassing optimized for bacteria applications and cell cultures: specific gassing rate (vvm) up to 2.0 min-1
• Multiple cascades for pO2 control by means of stirrer speed, gassing rate (“TotalFlow”), and/or gas composition (“GasMix”)
• Robust, a digital connection of pH and pO2 sensors
• Optical pO2 sensor: immediately ready for use, no polarization required
• Calibration data stored in the sensor head
• Product calibration of the pH sensor for reliable measurements during long-running bioprocesses
• Optional: biomass sensors from Optek and Aquila Biolabs
• Integrated 7" touch screen (17.8 cm)
• Simple handling through intuitive menus and practical on-screen help
• Calibration of pH, pO2, and OD sensors using simple install wizards
• Direct data export to the USB drive in stand-alone operation
• Multiple display languages
• 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
