Fermentation and Bioprocess Lab
Fermentation
The CIB has fermentation capabilities at the bench and pilot scale. Four BioFlo 3000 benchtop fermentors configured with two-liter vessels are available for comparative studies. At the pilot scale, two 100-liter B.Braun UE-100D fermentors and one E-10 10-liter CIP/SIP fermentor. All fermentors are equipped with instrumentation for monitoring/control of dissolved oxygen, pH, agitation, antifoam, and air flow. Support equipment includes shaker incubators, laminar flow hoods, chemical hoods, clean steam, microscopes, autoclaves, cryostorage, and freeze-dryers.
