Capacity : 2L to 20L
A College Purpose Glass Fermenter is a laboratory-scale bioreactor specifically designed for educational and training use in academic institutions such as colleges and universities. Made from borosilicate glass, it offers excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and clear visibility of the fermentation process, making it ideal for teaching microbiology, biotechnology, and biochemical engineering concepts. Its transparent structure allows students to visually observe microbial growth, mixing patterns, aeration, and foam formation, enhancing the learning experience through hands-on experimentation.
These fermenters typically come in small capacities ranging from 2 to 20 liters, making them suitable for classroom and lab-scale demonstrations. They are equipped with basic control features such as temperature regulation, pH and DO (dissolved oxygen) monitoring, and agitation, either through manual or semi-automated systems. Some models may include sampling ports, nutrient feed inlets, and aeration systems to simulate real fermentation conditions. The glass fermenter vessel is usually autoclavable, allowing for easy sterilization and reuse between lab sessions.
