Biobook Compact Twin

Mini bioreactors for cell culture and microbiology

An ultra-compact dual-vessel controller that runs two bioreactors fully independently and brings every cultivation utility into one space-saving rack — 350 mL to 2 L total volume per vessel.

  1. Process probes

    Connectors for the pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature probes: up to 6 Hamilton Arc probes per vessel, with calibration data stored in the sensor.

  2. MODBUS 485 / 4–20 mA

    Two MODBUS 485 / 4–20 mA connectors for external sensors and instruments.

  3. Peristaltic pumps

    Four pumps per vessel: 0.01 to 50 mL/min, variable speed, automatic calibration and reversible flow.

  4. Mixer

    Mixer connector for each vessel: brushless motor with Modbus drive, 1 to 1,250 rpm.

  5. Sparger, overlay and gas analysis

    For each vessel, sparger and overlay outlets for the gas mix regulated by up to 8 thermal MFCs, and a GA connection for gas analysis.

  6. Side B

    Side B repeats the probes, pumps, mixer and gas lines: the two vessels are controlled fully independently.
