Multifors 3 Bench-Top Bioreactor
The Multifors 3 bench-top bioreactor carries the complete control strategy into every run, not just setpoints, helping laboratories generate reproducible results and simplify technology transfer.
Together with eve® bioprocess software, the strategy is defined in advance, understood and executed by Multifors 3, and documented end-to-end to improve consistency from one run to the next.
Why scientists choose Multifors 3
Save time with reproducible process control: Reproducibility depends on more than setpoints. Multifors 3 plans, executes, and captures the complete control strategy, including controller presets, PID settings, cascades, and hardware configuration, and sensor metadata. When transferring a process, or switching between workflows, the complete process definition travels with it, reducing variability and making reproducibility more predictable.
Be confident with reliable process execution: Critical experiments shouldn't depend on network availability or software updates. Multifors 3 is designed to keep processes running without interruption while supporting FAT/SAT qualification and deployment in GMP environments, giving laboratories confidence throughout process development and beyond.
Future proof with an open, scalable platform: As process requirements evolve, your bioreactor platform should evolve with them. Multifors 3 supports glass vessels from 100 mL to 10 L and single-use vessels from multiple suppliers, with up to six bioreactors operated from a single touchscreen. Built on open communication standards, it gives laboratories the flexibility to integrate new peripherals, digital sensors, and software while maintaining a single platform across changing applications and workflows.
