Benchtop bioreactors
Modular, scalable and intelligent benchtop bioreactors, designed for mammalian cell culture, bacterial fermentation and bioprocess development — from 0.5 L to 50 L working volume. Three lines: Biobook Compact, Biobook Twin and Biobook Taylor Made.
Biobook Compact
Simplify research and cut validation time with a system that connects the lab to process development. Minimal footprint, maximum capacity.
Biobook Twin
Two vessels in parallel. Simultaneous operation. A single modular logic. Ideal for comparative studies and parallel process development.
Biobook Taylor Made
Bespoke configuration for specific needs: custom vessel geometries, sensors and automation. Engineered around your process, from concept to acceptance test.

Frequently asked questions
The Biobook series covers 0.5–50 L working volume. The Biobook Compact is optimised for single-vessel R&D (0.5–10 L); the Biobook Twin runs two parallel vessels up to 50 L each; the Biobook Taylor Made offers bespoke configurations (vessels, sensors and automation) for specific application requirements.
The Biobook series supports mammalian cell culture (CHO, HEK293, BHK21), bacterial fermentation (E. coli, Bacillus subtilis), yeast fermentation (S. cerevisiae, P. pastoris) and fungal cultures. Glass or single-use vessels available depending on requirements.
Yes. The Biobook integrates with the Bioflex™ SCADA software, fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — electronic audit trails, e-signatures and secure data archiving. Full IQ/OQ documentation packages available on request.
Yes. All Biobook systems support batch, fed-batch and continuous (perfusion/chemostat) modes. The Bioflex™ Recipe Editor provides step-by-step automated process sequences with timed setpoint changes.
