Great machine, excellent support
Strain screening
A while ago we had an issue that the unit wouldn't cool anymore. Within a day of writing to their support I had one of their application specialists contact me and walk me through troubleshooting and help me sort out all the paperwork in the end to return the unit.

The BioLector II measures the most common fermentation parameters online while running a cultivation. Additionally, the benchtop microbioreactor controls the shaking speed, the temperature inside the cultivation chamber, and the humidity.
Working Principle
The micro fermentation system is based on standard disposable microtiter plate formats and operates with non-invasive, optical sensors. Due to the continuous and rigorous shaking during the optical measurements and during the entire experiment, it is ideally suited for aerobic and anaerobic cultures.
Optional Modules
If a high or very low oxygen level is required, the system can be easily upgraded with additional modules, for example for CO2-enriched aeration, or anaerobic conditions.
By adding one of these modules the microbioreactor maintains all existing basic features. An upgrade with multiple modules in one system is possible.
/// Gas Modules
- O2 up regulating module for the up-regulation of oxygen up to 35 %
- O2 downregulating module for the down-regulation of oxygen down to 2 %
- CO2 up regulating module for fermentation with a CO2-controlled gas atmosphere
- Anaerobic cultivation set for cultivating under anaerobic conditions.
/// Fluorescence Modules
- LED / filter module for fluorescence measurements for wavelengths between 365 nm - 950 nm
- Low pH filter module for low pH measurements in the range of 4-6.
- Up to three additional fluorescence modules can be added; in total, six different ones fit into the system.
