Glass Fermenter LGF-T2012

Introduction

Glass Fermenter features a 5 L double-jacketed borosilicate glass vessel with a stainless steel lid, offering full process visibility. It is equipped with advanced a top-drive mechanical agitator and a six-blade paddle, allowing stable mixing at speeds between 50 to 1000 rpm. Temperature is precisely maintained from +5 °C to 70 °C through an intelligent control system using cooling water or electrical heating. Integrated sensors and peristaltic pumps automate pH, DO, and foam regulation for consistent culture conditions. Our Glass Fermenter is optimized for lab-scale microbial fermentation, vaccine research, and biotechnological development workflows.

This fermenter is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of modern laboratory operations, ensuring high precision, reliability, and ease of use for various experimental applications.

Applications

Our Glass Fermenter is perfect for optimizing medium formulations and screening microbial strains in biotech research labs. It also supports scale-up and process validation for pilot-scale production of enzymes, biofuels, and biologics.
