Bench-top Bioreactor
Labfors 5 for solid substrates
Your ideal bioreactor system for bioprocesses and enzymatic processes with solid substrates
Increase productivity and yield during your simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes, breaking down high concentrations of various raw materials, with this compact Labfors 5 bench-top bioreactor.
Advantages
Precise and gentle temperature control
By controlling the temperature of both the substrate and the double jacket, the two-fold system optimizes temperature control for the entire bioprocess, preventing overheating along the interior vessel wall, and keeping enzymatic activity high.
Ideal mixing capabilities
Because liquids and solids have different mixing properties, choose from a selection of stirrers for the right stirring system no matter what the substrate. With the high-torque, direct drive motor option, the system has enough power to also mix high concentrations of various raw materials.
Simplified data management
Further optimize your processes through automation. eve®, a web-based bioprocess platform software easily integrates with your bioreactors, so you can more efficiently control, monitor, and analyze your data.

An in vitro model system for testing chemical effects on microbiome-immune interactions – examples with BPX and PFAS mixtures
Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, in Germany, have developed an in vitro model to investigate how environmental chemicals, such as bisphenols (BPX) and PFAS mixtures, affect the interactions between the microbiome and immune system. Using the Multifors bench-top bioreactor, they demonstrated that chronic chemical exposure can alter immune cell activation without affecting microbial community structure.
