Thus, the metabolic activity can be calculated with much better precision than from difficult OD…
LAMBDA invested a lot of energy and creativity to reduce the dimension of a laboratory fermenter and bioreactor system which could be carried away by a child. Because, the laboratory bench-space is the most expensive surfaces known. It really makes a sense in laboratory whether to have a single instrument or four instruments at the same bench…
Elimination of critical points makes the keeping of bioreactor sterility easy. A strong silicone membrane isolates completely the vessel from the outer environment. The sterility is thus equivalent to magnetic coupling, but is considerably less complex and much less expensive. All o-rings have been replaced by large silicone stoppers with…
To spare space around bioreactor vessels LAMBDA has developed the smallest anti-foam control system consisting of miniature foam detector ANTIFO and a subminiature syringe pump DOZITO. More about miniature antifoam controller and syringe pump. The LAMBDA MINIFOR laboratory bioreactor-fermenter can be equipped with a novel foam detector and control…
Agitation of cell cultures is problematic because the mechanically sensitive eukaryotic cells could be destroyed by the cutting edges of the stirrer. A special "fish-tail" stirring disc was developed for gentle up and down mixing both in horizontal and vertical direction. It is efficient and eliminates cutting edges and micro-eddies formed by all…
As there has been a lot of progress in analytics and sample preparation methods it is now possible to use, with advantages, much smaller volumes of media in smaller vessels than it was before. The MINIFOR fermenter-bioreactor has been conceived so that reliable results can be now obtained in much lower volume than before. No need to use 14, 10, 7…
Many different types of laboratory fermentors and bioreactors are used worldwide, but the selection of a good quality bioreactor is not easy. Some advantageous parameters found in one product are cancelled out by other drawbacks in the same system. We have put all the innovations together and released the new LAMBDA MINIFOR Bioreactor, which…
Common air spargers are frequently clogged especially in mineralized media. Due to the air flow the medium progressively dries out on the edge of the sparger orifices (openings) and eventually blocks them completely. This stops the air inflow and the run has to be aborted. LAMBDA introduces a self-cleaning micro-sparger, which due to its…

The LAMBDA fermentation vessel has one central neck with large threads for fast and…
We have rejected the commonly used stirring of medium by rotation (which is almost a dogma in the field). We were amazed to see how many advantages (at least in the laboratory scale) are obtained by a simple reciprocating up and down movement of stirring discs. It is possible to get an easy and complete separation of the inner and outer…

Gas flow control is an important factor in the…
A very compact control system, which will allow good measurement and control of all important parameters by the same unit, is preferable for the user. Living organisms are extremely complex and it is desirable to measure and control as many parameters as possible. This will help to identify problems when they possibly arise. Therefore, we decided…
The LAMBDA MINIFOR bioreactor can be fully controlled and operated from the front panel. Together with the probes, controllers and pumps it forms an autonomous unit. All parameters can be immediately seen without any scrolling and can be adjusted from the front panel situated on a well visible place just in front of the culture vessel. Each…
Typical fermentation vessels require a rather complex fixing of head plates with many and very closely spaced ports and screws. Heavy head plates are expensive and the accessibility of all ports on their top is bad, especially in the case of low volume vessels. A new head plate is necessary for each vessel of different volume which leads to high…
The amount of medium in the MINIFOR fermenter-bioreactor can be kept constant by using a special weighing module placed under the front edge of the instrument. The harvesting pump will automatically keep the weight of the culture constant. Continuous cultures (chemostat) allow a considerable increase in productivity. In an equilibrated dilution…
