Techfors
Pilot bioreactor for bioprocess professionals

Successful bioprocesses start with professional planning

That is why we define an individual requirement profile for each Techfors together with you. Of course, our experts are happy to incorporate their expertise from more than 1,000 installations so far, and accompany you from planning to commissioning.

Retrofit? Anytime!

The modular design of the Techfors makes it possible. Even after commissioning, the bioreactor you want can be expanded with additional options, sensors or analysis devices. For validated installations, you also receive the corresponding change and supplemental documentation, upon request.

Rigorous bioprocess monitoring and control with eve®

The bioprocess software eve® supports you in all aspects of the bioprocess. From the project, experiment and batch planning to the management of resources and results, eve is web-based. Therefore your bioprocess data are available to you directly via the browser – also on multiple devices.

Validation and qualification documentation on request

From planning to commissioning, your contact person will assist you with all questions regarding qualification and validation. In addition, we will provide you with all necessary documents for commissioning.
