Overview

The BioFlo® 310 Fermentor - Advanced Control in a Compact Package.
New Brunswick Scientific's BioFlo 310 benchtop fermentor has been improved to provide you with even greater flexibility. Now, this powerful benchtop system can be used for growth of virtually any bacteria, yeast, or fungi, and can be adapted for mammalian, insect or plant cultures with the use of optional accessories. With the power to regulate up to 32 parameters each, and one to four vessels simultaneously, (128 parameters total), it's virtually impossible to outgrow its control capabilities. This advanced system allows you to easily connect and control your existing analysers, pumps, sensors and other ancillary devices. A user-friendly touchscreen controller integrates it all, simplifying setup, calibration & operation.
Features

• Standard Pre-Configured Packages include a Master Control Station with vessel and probes to simplify ordering
• Each Master Control Station includes a controller & touchscreen monitor interface capable of running one to four fermentors
• Cost-Saving Utility Stations for running optional 2nd, 3rd & 4th fermentor(s) do not include controller & touchscreen interface
• A Thermal Mass Flow Controller (TMFC) with 4-gas control is built into each Master Control Station and Utility Station to precisely control total gas flow rate; additional TMFCs for individual gas control and gas overlay can be added
• Connections for Gasses & Vessel Components are easily accessible
• Quick Connects allow utilities to be added in seconds
• Four baffles ensure thorough mixing
• Adjustable-Angle, User-Friendly 15" Touchscreen Interface controls one to four fermentors simultaneously
