Fermenters - Bioreactors

Fermenters and bioreactors are essential equipment in various scientific disciplines, enabling controlled environments for cultivating cells and microorganisms. These systems facilitate a wide range of biological processes, from producing pharmaceuticals and biofuels to conducting fundamental research in cell biology and metabolic engineering. A bioreactor functions by providing a sterile, temperature-controlled environment with precise control over parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, and agitation speed. These parameters are crucial for optimizing cell growth and product formation. The system typically includes sensors to monitor these conditions, and actuators to adjust them based on the specific needs of the culture. Different types of fermenters and bioreactors cater to various applications. For example, stirred-tank bioreactors are commonly used for large-scale... + More

Fermenters and bioreactors are essential equipment in various scientific disciplines, enabling controlled environments for cultivating cells and microorganisms. These systems facilitate a wide range of biological processes, from producing pharmaceuticals and biofuels to conducting fundamental research in cell biology and metabolic engineering. A bioreactor functions by providing a sterile, temperature-controlled environment with precise control over parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, and agitation speed. These parameters are crucial for optimizing cell growth and product formation. The system typically includes sensors to monitor these conditions, and actuators to adjust them based on the specific needs of the culture. Different types of fermenters and bioreactors cater to various applications. For example, stirred-tank bioreactors are commonly used for large-scale microbial fermentation, while airlift bioreactors are preferred for shear-sensitive cell cultures. Photobioreactors provide controlled light conditions for growing photosynthetic organisms like algae. These systems support workflows involving cell culture, fermentation, protein expression, and bioprocessing. Researchers frequently use these instruments in conjunction with other analytical techniques such as spectroscopy (e.g., UV-Vis, NIR), chromatography (e.g., HPLC, GC), and various sample preparation methods. Brands like Thermo Fisher Scientific, Sartorius, and Applikon are known for their reliable bioreactor systems. Specific models, such as the Thermo Scientific HyPerforma Single-Use Bioreactor and the Sartorius Biostat STR, offer advanced features and capabilities for demanding research and industrial applications. At American Laboratory Trading (ALT), we offer a wide selection of refurbished fermenters and bioreactors from leading manufacturers. Our experienced team of engineers rigorously inspects, tests, and refurbishes each instrument to meet original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Every piece of equipment comes with a 90-day warranty, which is upgradable to a three-year warranty, and is backed by our lifetime support service. We understand the critical role these instruments play in your research, and we are committed to providing high-quality equipment at a significantly lower cost than new. As North America's largest provider of premium refurbished lab equipment, we maintain an extensive inventory of over 6,000 instruments, ensuring we can meet your specific needs. Our inventory includes a diverse range of equipment, from benchtop accessories to complex systems like mass spectrometers, and we are constantly adding new arrivals. If you find the same refurbished instrument at a lower advertised price or have a valid quote, we offer a price match guarantee. We also offer white glove service for delivery and installation, along with flexible payment options through ALT Capital. Our goal is to make acquiring high-quality lab equipment accessible and affordable, so you can focus on your research. - Less
