Photo Bioreactors

By using the IKA photo bioreactors, the cultivation of phototrophic microorganisms such as microalgae or cyanobacteria are, under carefully controlled conditions in a closed system, easily possible. Closed systems are particularly interesting in the field of research where a high microbial purity level has to be reached and contamination risks have to be reduced to a minimum. Photo bioreactors create a natural environment to grow microorganisms for scientific purposes such as for drug discovery or translational science.

By leaving the source of light apart the device can be used as a conventional bioreactor as well as a fermenter.
