Fermenters / bioreactors

Fermenters and bioreactors are vessels that hold a controlled environment in which living cells, microorganisms or enzymes carry out a biological reaction at a defined temperature, pH and dissolved-oxygen level. Fermenters are the term more often used for microbial culture, bioreactors for mammalian and cell culture work, though the two names overlap in practice. On Questpair, 732 listings are held across 17 verified suppliers and distributors in 8 countries, with new, used and refurbished units all represented. 98 percent of the listings are used. Prices range from EUR 25 to EUR 516.534, a spread that separates a single probe from a complete production-scale bioreactor system.
