Multiple fermenter system

Fermex BioQuadx-Multiple Fermenter System

1. Definition

The BioQuadx is a parallel, bench-top fermenter system (usually four vessels) used for research. It allows running multiple, small-scale (0.1L to 1L) fermentation experiments simultaneously for rapid process development.

2. Key Specifications (Per Vessel)

• Total Volume: 3 L

• Working Volume: 100 ml to 1000 ml

• Vessel Material: Borosilicate Glass & SS 316 L (Wetted Parts)

• Sterilization: Autoclavable

• Control: Fully automated PLC/HMI with real-time control of Temperature, pH, DO (Dissolved Oxygen), Agitation, and Feeding (Peristaltic Pumps).

3. Core Features

• Parallel Operation: Run multiple experiments at once for quick Process Optimization (DoE) and strain screening.

• Precise Control: Uses $\text{MFC}$s (Mass Flow Controllers) for accurate gas flow/aeration.

• Compact Design: Table-top unit designed to save space in the lab.

4. Applications

The system is used in Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Academia for:

• Bioprocess Optimization

• Strain/Media Development

• Production of Enzymes, Vaccines, and Probiotics
