Product Description Interchangeable control modules, impellers, motor drives and vessels Pre-programmed control ranges Control and view up to four separate vessels from a single screen Built-in cascade feature Adjustable P-I-D values for pH and DO New Brunswicks BioFlo 110 Modular Fermentor & Bioreactor is versatile enough to meet specific laboratory needs. This powerful model was designed to simplify procedures for hassle-free processing. As a result, demanding laboratories are able to increase biomass yields to keep up with dynamic research requirements. The BioFlo 110 fermentor automates procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results. Operators can set points for both pH and dissolved oxygen (DO), which can be automatically maintained with this modular fermentor. Users can control pH through gas, acid or base addition with the cascade feature. Gas or addition agitations can be also used for DO manipulation. Users can also increase control flexibility by adjusting P-I-D values for both pH and DO. Equipment operators have an option to use a manual rotameter or a digital mass flow control for gas flow management. New Brunswick adapters also provide a wide range of options by adjusting probe immersion lengths. Magnetic drive and direct drive options are also available for cell culture applications. Fermentation processes make use of the direct drive as a standard. New Brunswick also enhanced control and the data logging efficiency of the BioFlo 110 modular fermetor & bioreactor with the NBS BioCommand software and its Modbus compatibility.
