Transfer of an Itaconate Production Process in Ustilago maydis to the BioFlo® 120 Bioprocess Control Station

The Eppendorf BioFlo 120 offers simplicity and ease of use, without sacrificing capability. In academic, governmental or industrial research settings; for work with bacteria, yeast, fungi, mammalian, insect or plant cells: The BioFlo 120 is an attractive solution to meet bioprocessing needs. The BioFlo 120 is a bench-scale bioreactor/fermentor system that perfectly suits research and development. Its flexible design meets the wide-ranging needs of scientists in both microbial and cell culture applications. 24 interchangeable autoclavable vessels (water-jacketed or with heat blanket) are available, along with BioBLU® single-use bioreactors ranging from 250 mL to 40 L working volume. Digital Mettler Toledo® ISM sensor technology is fully integrated allowing the user to switch between pH, redox, dissolved oxygen (polarographic and/or optical), and carbon dioxide monitoring without the need for additional equipment. A high-precision thermal mass flow controller with expanded range provides the capability for low flow mammalian cell culture through high-demand microbial processes on a single control station.   Features: Scale-up from 250 mL to 40 L on a wide variety of autoclavable and single-use vessels New Auto culture modes for microbial and cell culture process control at the touch of a button. Universal connections for analog sensors or digital Mettler Toledo ISM sensors for increased flexibility Applications: Cultivation of mammalian, stem, insect, and plant cells Bacterial, yeast, and fungal fermentation Batch, fed-batch, continuous or perfusion
