Getinge Applikon my-Control Autoclavable Benchtop Bioreactor System for Cell Culture

The Getinge Applikon Biotechnology my-Control Autoclavable Bioreactor System Unit 3 is a compact benchtop bioreactor designed for small-scale cell culture and bioprocessing applications. Featuring a 0.5-liter Glass MiniBio 500 reactor with a fully autoclavable design, this system ensures sterile fermentation and precise process control critical for biotechnology workflows such as molecular diagnostics, bioprocess scale-up, and synthetic biology research.

Key system components and specifications include:

• Controller: my-Control bioreactor controller with integrated monitoring
• Reactor volume: Total 550 mL; working volume ranges 100–400 mL
• Agitation: Brushless direct-drive motor (M01.1) with variable speed 50–1750 rpm; marine impeller aerated by porous sparger
• Process monitoring: Inputs for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), agitation speed, and liquid level
• Gas supply: Four mass flow controllers (MFCs) for N2 (160 mL/min), Air (160 mL/min), O2 (40 mL/min), CO2 (40 mL/min) enabling precise gas blending for DO and pH regulation
• Liquid handling: Three variable speed peristaltic pumps (0–200 rpm) for automated nutrient feeding and pH control via alkali pumping and CO2 gas modulation
• Temperature control: Electrical heating blanket and cooling condenser integrated with bioreactor jacket for stable thermal regulation
• Modularity: Supports additional sensors such as ORP, with options for reactors up to 3L (0.5L currently available)

This system is widely utilized in biotechnology domains for cell culture fermentation, media optimization, strain screening, and small-scale bioprocess development. Its autoclavable glass reactor and sophisticated control system make it ideal for biomanufacturing research and molecular cloning workflows requiring stringent sterility and parameter control.

Additional benefits:

• Fully serviced and verified for functional integrity including pumps, motor, sensor communication, gas mixing, and heating/cooling elements
• Warranty and after-sales technical support provided
• Modular design allows integration of single-use sensors and seamless scale-up adaptability
• Suitable for biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics research environments

Overall, the my-Control Autoclavable Bioreactor System offers a reliable platform for precision-controlled small-scale bioprocessing, essential for advancing synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines with tight pH, DO, temperature, and agitation regulation.
