Fermentador LP/P

Innovative and versatile: The LP/P fermenter series

The LP/P fermenters are based on a proven platform concept and allow flexible adaptation to different requirements. The bottom drive with easily removable drive shaft ensures a low vessel height, facilitating lid access and installation even in rooms with limited height.

For cell culture, solutions such as rotor filters for perfusion, bubble-free gassing for shear-sensitive cells and empty sterilization for heat-sensitive media are available. Microbial fermentation is supported by special powerful agitation systems for organisms with high oxygen requirements. The fermenters are suitable for both batch and continuous processes.

They can be operated manually as stand-alone units or fully automated in production processes. They are controlled by local controllers (e.g. PLC) in combination with BioSCADA software.
