New Brunswick™ BioFlo® 510
SIP benchtop reactors designed to meet the needs of R&D through production.
Product Information
The BioFlo 510 is a compact sterilizable-in-place fermentation system ideal for pilot to small scale production processes. The modular design features a wide variety of standard options allowing this system to be flexible enough to meet most process requirements.
Gas flow
- Various combinations of one, two, three or four TMFCs:
- 0.06 – 3 SLPM
- 0.3 – 15 SLPM
- 0.6 – 32 SLPM
- 1 – 64 SLPM
- Overlay (valve only)
Exhaust line
- Exhaust condenser
- Manual or automatic pressure control
Impellers
- Rushton-type – Used commonly for robust cell lines such as bacteria, yeasts, and algae, where maximum OTR is desired. Provided as standard on BioFlo 510 fermentors
- Pitched-blade – Commonly used with mammalian, insect or other shear sensitive cell lines for batch, fed-batch or continuous cultures. Produces axial and radial mixing.
- Marine – Commonly used with mammalian, insect, or other shear sensitive cell lines for batch, fed-batch or continuous cultures. Produces axial mixing
Sensors
