Chemostat with BALANCE 20

Minifor2Bio touch woth BALANCE 20 – Easy Weight Control: Maintains constant culture weight with an integrated scale module, enabling precise, reproducible continuous cultures.

BALANCE 20 – EASY WEIGHT CONTROL FOR CONTINUOUS CULTURES

The amount of medium in the Minifor2Bio touch fermenter‑bioreactor can be maintained at a constant level using a dedicated weighing module positioned beneath the front edge of the instrument.
The harvesting pump automatically adjusts to keep the culture weight stable.
Continuous cultures (chemostats) significantly increase productivity. In a balanced dilution state, culture parameters can be studied more efficiently than in batch processes.

More about Easy Weight Control for Continuous Cultures

The ability to run weight‑controlled continuous processes is a defining feature of advanced bioreactor systems. Continuous operation enables faster optimization of experiments at lower cost compared to batch cultures, while delivering much higher productivity.

For example, using a 3‑liter vessel in continuous mode can achieve biomass yields equivalent to a 30‑liter batch system—or even greater.

All Minifor2Bio touch bioreactors and fermenters are electronically prepared for connection to a low‑cost Balance module, allowing precise continuous culture runs with constant culture weight. This approach avoids the limitations of cheaper alternatives such as overflow tubes or draft tubes.
