BioLector® Pro

Source: m2p-labs, Inc.

The Biolector® Pro is the first microbioreactor system combining the proven, scalable BioLector® technology with an innovative microfluidic chip.

The system is based on microtiter plate formats and operates with non-invasive, optical sensors. The disposable 48 microtiter plate of the Biolector® Pro features online measurements of biomass, fluorescence, pH and DO and at the same time controls pH and feeding rates through micro-valves and micro-channels. These unique microfluidic components realize for the first time continuous feeding and pH control on a microtiter plate format. There is no tubing and no liquid handling needed anymore; everything is part of the gamma radiated ready-to-use plate!
