Glass vessel with heating mantle
Single-wall borosilicate glass vessel with a 316L stainless steel headplate: heating by a wrap-around mantle and cooling by a cold finger immersed in the culture broth. From 2 to 12 L total volume.
Is water availability a challenge in your lab?
Overcome it with the reliability and precision of our heating mantles.
Mixer motor
Brushless motor of 100, 400 or 600 W, chosen by vessel volume, turning clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Process probes
pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature probes mounted on the headplate.
Condenser
Condenser on the exhaust gas outlet.
316L stainless steel headplate
Headplate with the ports for probes, feed and gas lines and for the cooling cold finger.
Heating mantle
Heating by a wrap-around mantle strapped to the vessel; cooling runs through the cold finger, connected to the Biobook Wet module, cooling water or a chiller.
Borosilicate glass vessel
The single-wall culture vessel, autoclavable together with the headplate.
Protective cage
Stainless steel cage around the vessel.
