Photobioreactors

Photobioreactors FMT 150 feature a combination of the bench-top cultivator and computer-controlled monitoring device. The product line comprises three instruments that differ in the cultivation vessel capacity - 400 ml, 1 and 3 l. All Photobioreactor models may be supplied with a number of useful accessories that facilitate to meet wide range of special experimental conditions.

Cultivation of photoautotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms

Flat cultivation vessel with a short light path for an optimal illumination

Standard bi-color LED panel, optionally up to 4 illumination colors

Highly precise control of cultivation conditions (illumination, temperature, aeration, etc.)

Optical density (OD 680, OD 720) and Chlorophyll-a fluorescence monitoring

Variable cultivation strategies (batch, pH-stat, turbidostatic, anaerobic, etc.)

Compact design, easy handling

Photobioreactors Photobioreactors FMT 150 feature a combination of the bench-top cultivator and computer-controlled monitoring device. The product line comprises three instruments that differ in the cultivation vessel capacity - 400 ml, 1 and 3 l. All Photobioreactor models may be supplied with a number of useful accessories that facilitate to meet wide range of special experimental conditions. Cultivation Vessel Flat, rectangular glass cultivation vessel. The short light path ensures an optimal irradiance (24 mm (FMT 150/400), 61 mm (FMT 150/1000 and FMT 150/3000). Different size: 400 ml, 1 l, 3 l. Stainless steel bottom and lid. 3 big ports for sensors, 4 small Luer connectors for tubing (Ø 6/3 mm) (FMT 150/400 and FMT 150/1000); 4 big ports for sensors, 8 small Luer connectors for tubing (Ø 6/3 mm) (FMT 150/3000) Identical optical path of 24 mm regardless of the vessel thickness due to the incorporated optical prism that reduces the optical path in the larger vessels. Integrated aeration stainless steel U-tube with aeration holes (Ø 0.7 mm) + silicon connection. Probe Caps: Stainless plugs that enable closing of unused probe opening in the Photobioreactor cuvette lid. Humidifier for a moistening of the sparging air to avoid an increased medium evaporation from the cultivation. Enhanced Vessel made from nickel-plated brass covered with ceramic layer that improves heat convection (optional). Pipetting Insert to top connector: an additional inlet port placed into the sensor port (optional). Autoclavable design. Cultivation vessels - 400 ml and 3 l Optical prism Pipetting Insert
