250mL bioreactor

Our 250 mL bioreactor was designed for fed-batch microbial and fermentation processes. We manufactured and scaled out these reactors to accommodate a growing customer base of therapeutics and synthetic biology customers.

5L cloud-connected bioreactor

5L bioreactor

After listening to our customers, we heard that their biggest need was material for process development. We launched our 5L reactors to enable large-batch material generation.
