Features icon
Culture vessels
  • Available in total volumes of 1.5 L, 3 L and 6 L
  • Quick and easy change between culture vessel sizes
  • Rounded flat vessel bottom: Low minimum working volume, good mixing, stability with or without a vessel holder
  • Safe sampling without any dead volume: INFORS HT Super Safe Sampler
Top plate
  • Intelligent design for easy access to all ports
  • Sufficient ports, for standard fittings and extra inlets, immersion tubes and sensors
  • 4 x 7.5 mm: addition ports available for acid, base, feed & 1 free
  • 4 x 10 mm: sparger, anti-foam system, temperature sensor, sampling/harvest
  • Maximum 7 x 12 mm (Pg13.5): pH, pO2, exhaust gas cooler, inoculation are pre-allocated, 3 are freely available
  • Convenient, tool-free cleaning and maintenance thanks to knurled screws
High-performance pumps
  • 4 High-performance pumps
  • Configurable operating mode: digital (fixed-speed) or analogue (variable speed)
  • 3 x fix (acid, base, antifoam), 1 x variable (feed)
  • Autoclavable pump heads
  • Gravimetric feeding with dosing mode (requires external scale)
  • Profile-based pump-speed control (with eve®)
  • 2 analogue inputs / outputs to connect external pumps (version for cell cultures)
Gassing
  • 2 integrated MFC for air, air/O2, or air/N2 (version for microorganisms)
  • 5 integrated MFC for air, O2, N2, CO2 and head space gassing (version for cell cultures)
  • Integrated pressure sensor for detecting a blocked filter
  • Gassing optimised for bacteria applications and cell cultures: specific gassing rate (vvm) up to 2.0 min-1
  • Multiple cascades for pO2 control by means of stirrer speed, gassing rate (“TotalFlow”) and/or gas composition (“GasMix”)
Sensors
  • Robust, digital connection of pH and pO2 sensors
  • Optical pO2 sensor: immediately ready for use, no polarization required
  • Calibration data stored in sensor head
  • Product calibration of the pH sensor for reliable measurements during long-running bioprocesses
  • Optional: biomass sensors from Optek and aquila biolabs
Operating unit
  • Integrated 7″ touch screen (17.8 cm)
  • Simple handling through intuitive menus and practical on-screen help
  • Calibration of pH, pO2 and OD sensors using simple install wizards

Key Features icon

Build your bioreactor to fit your needs
Configure the Labfors 5 bench-top bioreactor to fit your specific application needs with a selection of various stirrers, spargers, and accessories. Set your temperature control system and gassing strategy to carry out a range of batch, fed-batch, and continuous cultivations.

Compact design allows for excellent handling
Easily access ports and the top plate due to the practical and compact design of this bioreactor. Autoclaving is also made easy with removable pump heads that can be sterilized with the vessel.

Work more efficiently in your lab
Organize your laboratory more efficiently by connecting the Labfors 5 bioreactor touchscreen control up to 6 systems at once. Operate them simultaneously to save time and manual labor.
