Frequently Asked Questions About Bioreactors & Fermenters
What is the difference between a bioreactor and a fermenter?
While both are used for cultivation, fermenters are typically designed for microbial growth (bacteria, yeast, fungi), whereas bioreactors are engineered for more sensitive cell cultures (mammalian, plant, or insect cells) requiring precise shear stress control and oxygenation.
Are your benchtop bioreactors compatible with single-use technology?
Many modern systems in our catalog, including the IKA HABITAT series, offer the flexibility to switch between reusable glass vessels and single-use vessels, allowing labs to reduce cross-contamination risks and sterilization time.
What parameters can be controlled with these systems?
Our laboratory bioreactors allow for real-time monitoring and automated control of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, agitation speed, and nutrient feeding via integrated Watson Marlow peristaltic pumps.
Is the software for IKA bioreactors compliant with 21 CFR Part 11?
Yes, a software version that meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements is available as an option for IKA HABITAT, supporting data integrity and traceability in FDA-regulated environments.
What vessel sizes are available for lab-scale fermentation?
We offer a wide range of vessel volumes, typically starting from 0.5 liters for initial R&D up to 10 liters for benchtop pilot studies.
