BioXplorer 400
bench-top, parallel 4 bioreactor platform
Product Category: Bioprocess Development
Industry: Catalysis Chemical Synthesis and Crystallisation, Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Personal Care and Natural Products
Supplier: H.E.L. Group
Description
The BioXplorer 400 is equipped with 4 bioreactors with working volumes of up to 400 ml. It is a fantastic tool for parallel bioprocess optimization. The highly configurable nature of their lid expands the testing capability for the bioprocess, choosing which probes to use to characterize in real time the critical parameters for the fermentation. Combined with H.E.L’s WinISO allows for the full automatization of aerobic fermentation.
Overview
Parallel Bioreactor
The BioXplorer 400 has four bioreactors, allowing working volumes from 120 ml to 400ml, each meticulously optimized for aerobic fermentation. These bioreactors form the foundation of your bioprocessing endeavors, allowing you to undertake up to four parallel bioprocesses simultaneously. Whether it’s in-depth experimentation, parallel screening, or accelerated research, the BioXplorer 400 offers many possibilities.
Flexibility & Control
The wide range of probes available with the BioXplorer 400 enables the monitoring of critical parameters for the bioprocess for in-depth characterization. The responsiveness of WinISO allows for the fine control of critical parameters in fermentation through the implementation of automated feedback loops.

BioXplorer 400 is an incredible tool for the characterization and optimization of processes. The customizable configuration of the bioreactors allows for the careful selection of the parameters to track during the fermentation. With a choice of agitation, either magnetic or overhead, which enables a wider range of impellor speeds, allowing cultivation of shear sensitive cells at lower speeds. Higher impellor speeds increase gas transfer for increased cell densities or product yields.
