316L stainless steel bioreactors
SIP/CIP-ready 316L stainless steel bioreactors for pilot and industrial fermentation — engineered for high-performance microbial fermentation, cell culture and GMP production scalability.
Biosip series
The Biosip series is built to advance R&D. Equipped with Bioflex™ software, it handles up to 16 probes and 8 peristaltic pumps for precise bioprocess control.
Bioferm series
Bioferm uses advanced engineering to streamline the fermentation process. Equipped with cutting-edge sensors and guided start-up wizards for immediate operation.

|---|---|---|
| Application focus | R&D / pilot scale | Industrial / GMP production |
| Volume range | 10 – 50 L | 50 – 350 L+ |
| Process probes | Up to 16 | Up to 16 |
| MFC gas controllers | 8× | 8× |
| SIP / CIP | ✓ | ✓ |
| Surface finish | Ra ≤ 0.4 µm | Ra ≤ 0.4 µm |
| Guided start-up | — | Wizard ≤ 10 min |
| GMP documentation | Optional | Standard (DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ) |
Frequently asked questions
The Biosip is designed for R&D and pilot-scale bioprocessing with up to 16 probes and 8 MFC gas controllers for precise control. The Bioferm targets industrial GMP production with guided start-up wizards (ready in under 10 minutes), higher capacity and Ra ≤ 0.4 µm surface finish. Both are 316L stainless steel with full SIP/CIP compatibility.
Yes. All Biosip and Bioferm systems are fully SIP (Steam-In-Place) and CIP (Clean-In-Place) compatible. Automated sterilisation sequences are programmable via Bioflex™ SCADA software. The 316L construction with internal Ra ≤ 0.4 µm finish ensures efficient cleaning validation.
The Biosip covers pilot-scale volumes from about 10 L to 50 L. The industrial Bioferm series scales to 350 L and beyond for production environments. Custom volumes and multi-vessel skid configurations are available through the custom engineering service.
All Vinci Biotechnologies stainless steel bioreactors comply with the CE Machinery Directive, PED 2014/68/EU, ASME BPE standards, ISO 9001:2015 and GMP/GLP guidelines. The Bioflex™ software is FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant. Full DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ documentation available on request.
