Elimination of critical points makes the keeping of bioreactor sterility easy. A strong silicone membrane isolates completely the vessel from the outer environment. The sterility is thus equivalent to magnetic coupling, but is considerably less complex and much less expensive. All o-rings have been replaced by large silicone stoppers with…
As there has been a lot of progress in analytics and sample preparation methods it is now possible to use, with advantages, much smaller volumes of media in smaller vessels than it was before. The MINIFOR fermenter-bioreactor has been conceived so that reliable results can be now obtained in much lower volume than before. No need to use 14, 10, 7…
Common air spargers are frequently clogged especially in mineralized media. Due to the air flow the medium progressively dries out on the edge of the sparger orifices (openings) and eventually blocks them completely. This stops the air inflow and the run has to be aborted. LAMBDA introduces a self-cleaning micro-sparger, which due to its…
A cascade casing guarantees overall easy visibility, accessibility and handling. The display showing all parameters and control buttons is located in the front. Very good visibility into the vessel which is fixed on the first platform above the infrared radiator. Easily accessible probes, ports, tubing and stirring connections. Storage of bottles…
The very expensive, clumsy and complex to set up traditional metal head plates were completely eliminated (see Elimination of expensive head plates ) and replaced by new threaded glass vessels, which make ports manipulation as easy as screwing a cap on a bottle! The LAMBDA fermentation vessel has one central neck with large threads for fast and…
A very compact control system, which will allow good measurement and control of all important parameters by the same unit, is preferable for the user. Living organisms are extremely complex and it is desirable to measure and control as many parameters as possible. This will help to identify problems when they possibly arise. Therefore, we decided…
Typical fermentation vessels require a rather complex fixing of head plates with many and very closely spaced ports and screws. Heavy head plates are expensive and the accessibility of all ports on their top is bad, especially in the case of low volume vessels. A new head plate is necessary for each vessel of different volume which leads to high…
Why is the LAMBDA MINIFOR laboratory fermenter and bench-top bioreactor so attractive to universities and high schools? It’s not only because of its functionality and accuracy… The modular concept “In addition to the standard 1L vessel we can also supply 0.3L (with a minimal working volume of 35ml), 0.4L, 3L and 7L reactor vessels. The…
This guide should help colleagues to judge better what they get for their money when buying a laboratory fermentor. Some producers try to lower the initial selling price by supplying equipment and components with minimal value. Unaware clients decide to buy lower priced instruments without consideration of the much lower value obtained, future…
The vessel is heated from underneath by infrared radiation generated by a spiral heater of high heating power but very low heat capacity. Heat rays are concentrated by the gilded parabolic reflector with 98 % efficiency onto the bottom of the vessel, where about 50% is absorbed by the glass and about 50% is absorbed directly by medium. The result…

The high quality LAMBDA peristaltic pumps PRECIFLOW, MULTIFLOW, HIFLOW and MAXIFLOW have been specially developed for long term continuous processes like in fermentations and cell cultures . LAMBDA's unique tubing compressing mechanics reduces pulsation and is very gentle to the tubing. No clamps, fixings or stoppers are required to hold the…
The Minifor was developed as a result of the need to construct a small laboratory fermenter for volumes from 0.035 to 6 l. Easy to use and with the capacity to measure and control all the important parameters of the biological culture. Minimum space on the bench but with a good access to all parts. Several fermenters are suitable for the…
