John Morris Scientific is presents the BioFlo 110 fermentor and bioreactor from New Brunswick Scientific (NBS), a producer of equipment for life science research and pilot production facilities.
The BioFlo 110 is a cost effective way to get started in fermentation or cell culture with plenty of options for expansion available.
This instrument expands the fermentation to new levels; every configuration of this autoclavable fermentation and cell culture system - from modest entry point to fully loaded - is built around a highly intelligent controller which making it very simple to use.
Features include a large, self-illuminated display to clearly show users what is happening in the vessel. Calling up a graph or changing a set point is just a touch away. Perfectly natural and intuitive to use, the BioFlo 110 is designed to let users concentrate on their culture.
One touch allows users to instantly tailor control responses to suit the application, including growing mammalian cells, bacterial or yeast.
If users wish to add a second, third or fourth vessel, the 32-loop BioFlo 110 primary control unit simultaneously supports up to four independent vessels and their loop controllers. Advanced users can change PID values and cascade options, choose dead-band or PID control - always with the knowledge that they can return to factory settings quickly and easily.
The BioFlo 110 is surprisingly easy to set up, and equally easy to expand as the users' needs grow.
The most basic kit includes a primary control unit and power controller to manage temperature and agitation.
Additional control modules are recognised automatically - no configuration is required.
Use any one of NBS's BioCommand software packages to automate data collection and supervise cultures.
Or use any software with Modbus communication.
The BioFlo 110 has a built-in PCU floppy-drive that makes future firmware upgrades 'do-it-yourself simple.
Clean, reliable surface seals are provided in direct drive agitation systems; and optional magnetic drives are provided for critical cell culture applications.
The temperature control can be chosen via water-jacketed vessels or heat blankets; the slip-on motor self-aligns with the drive shaft, and no pre-alignment is needed.
Users of the BioFlo 110 can choose from several pre-configured fermentation and cell culture kits.
Basic kits include automatic agitation and temperature controls, along with manual airflow.
Advanced kits add pH/DO, 4-gas, foam controls and more.
Individual components can also be added at any time to meet the user's changing needs.
