Applikon MiniBio

The Applikon MiniBio is a true scale down of the classic laboratory scale bioreactor. It has the same flexibility, which means that the Applikon MiniBio can be customized to fit the demands of any process. The small volume reduces media costs and maximizes usage of bench space.

The Applikon miniBio is a multi-use glass autoclavable bioreactor for small volume cultivations
The Applikon miniBio is a true scale down of the laboratory multi-use bioreactor
The Applikon miniBio system consisting of stirred tank bioreactor, controller and sensors

Real Small... Real Bioreactors

  • Easy set up and operation
  • Little bench space required
  • Less medium used during cultivation
  • Generate more data in less time

The MiniBio is the perfect device for small-scale operations in the lab. It saves time, takes up less bench space, and generates more data while providing fully scalable results. In combination with our highly efficient BioSep cell separation device, you can convert your batch or fed-batch bioreactor into a small scale continuous bioprocessing system.

The configurable head plate of the bioreactor has Luer fittings that free up space for multiple additions, sensors and fittings and ready-to-go tubing assemblies for a quick start.

 

Microbial and cell cultures at small scale

Sometimes less leads to more.
The Applikon MiniBio requires less medium and bench space than regular laboratory-scale bioreactors. Scientists can easily run multiple experiments in parallel, generating more data at once to enable efficient scale-up.

Watch the video to view how the MiniBio can speed up your bioprocess.

Small size bioreactors

The compact design of the MiniBio allows the scientist to place multiple systems on the valuable bench space. Parallel processing has never been that easy. 

Generate scalable results

Running cultivations at small scale allows for quick access to more data. Scientists will have reliable data that simplifies scale-up to higher volumes.
