Bioreactors, the Benchtop Infors Labfors 5 Lux LED Flat Panel or LED Stirred Tank
Overview
The Labfors 5 Lux LED Flat Panel or Stirred Tank are easy to handle, flexible benchtop bioreactors that use energy saving and reliable LED lighting.
The main advantages of the Labfors 5 Lux LED Flat Panel compared to the Stirred Tank are scalability to pilot production and more even light distribution throughout the culture. The Labfors 5 Lux LED Flat Panel is ideal for biofuel research, while for photosynthesis applications the Labfors 5 Lux LED Stirred Tank is the traditional choice.
Either Labfors 5 Lux LED is assembled with applications in mind and there are choices and options to optimize for a specific cultivation strategy. Culture in batch, fed batch, and continuous modes are possible.
Primarily used for Algae, Plant cells, Cyanobacteria, and Cultures, from 1.6 to 1.8 L (Labfors 5 Lux Flat Panel) or from 0.6 to 2.4 L (Labfors 5 Lux Stirred Tank). The Labfors 5 Lux control unit is suited for other applications such as bacteria or mammalian cell cultures as well, depending on specifications.
Precise control or monitoring of light, temperature, stirrer speed, pH, p2, antifoam/level, feed, gas mix, gas flow, with other channels free.
Features of the Labfors 5 Lux LED Flat Panel:
Dimmable high power LED lightning
Bright light intensity, equivalent to Caribbean sunlight
Flexible configurations designed and optimized for specific applications
Flat panel culture vessel
Even light distribution throughout culture, no shadowing effects
Space saving compact design
Labfors 5 controller
Scalability to pilot and production size
Airlift gently yet effectively mixes the culture
Choice of light spectra, warm white similar to sunlight or colors, UV-A or infrared can be selected, even three colors independently dimmed is an option
With Iris parallel bioprocess control software it is possible to simulate a 24 hour day light cycle
Features of the Labfors 5 Lux LED Stirred Tank:
Dimmable LED lightning
Flexible configurations designed and optimized for specific applications
Traditional stirred tank culture vessel
Space saving compact design
Labfors 5 controller
Choice of light spectra, LED lights are in strips that can be individually replaced to allow the light spectrum to be matched to the application at any point
Warm white similar to sunlight, or colors, UV-A or infrared can be chosen, even three colors independently dimmed is an option
With Iris parallel bioprocess control software it is possible to simulate a 24 hour day light cycle
