Understanding the types of bioreactors used in laboratories gives insight into industries that are shaping the future of healthcare, agriculture and energy. We offer highly reliable, efficient and eco-friendly lab scale bioreactors designed to make research not only easier but also more impactful.
What is a Bioreactor Laboratory ?
A bioreactor laboratory refers to a specialized facility where biological processes are carried out using bioreactors under controlled conditions.
In a bioreactor laboratory, scientists and researchers can:
- Control key conditions like temperature, pH, oxygen, and mixing.
- Grow cells efficiently for research or industrial applications.
- Test small-scale experiments before scaling up to larger production systems.
- Develop bioproducts for healthcare, agriculture, food, and renewable energy.
Types of Bioreactor Laboratory
At Fermenter Technology, we proudly offer and provide a wide range of laboratory-scale bioreactors that support researchers, students, and industry professionals in their pursuit of innovation.
- Stirred Tank Bioreactors (STRs): Stirred Tank Bioreactors are versatile and ideal for microbial and cell culture processes.
- Airlift Bioreactors: Unlike stirred tanks, airlift bioreactors do not rely on mechanical agitation. Instead, they use air or gas bubbles to circulate the liquid inside the vessel.
- Bubble Column Bioreactors: These are simpler in design compared to stirred tanks and airlift systems. In bubble column bioreactors, gas is sparged from the bottom of the vessel, creating bubbles that provide aeration and mixing.
- Photobioreactors (PBRs): As the name suggests, photobioreactors are designed to harness light for biological processes. They are mainly used to grow algae, cyanobacteria, and other photosynthetic organisms.
- Packed Bed Bioreactors: In this type, the bioreactor contains a packed bed of solid materials where cells are immobilized and grow.
- Membrane Bioreactors: Membrane bioreactors integrate a filtration system with the biological process. They allow selective transfer of gases, nutrients, or metabolites through membranes.
- Wave Bioreactors: Wave bioreactors are relatively modern systems where a disposable bag containing the culture medium is rocked gently back and forth.
- Single-Use Bioreactors: Single-use systems are gaining popularity in modern laboratories because they cut down cleaning and sterilization time. They are pre-sterilized and ready to use, saving time and reducing cross-contamination risks.
