more

IO is a completely electrical mini fermenter/bioreactor with a fast and accurate thermoregulation system (without water circulation).
With total volumes of 200ml or 1000ml, it represents an innovative device for process development and media optimization.

Solaris IO

Features and benefits

01
Single-wall borosilicate glass vessel, with thermoregulation performed through a Peltier Cell (no need for an external chiller/water supply).
02
Different configurations available for microbial (aerobic/anaerobic) and cell culture applications, with the choice of Rushton/Marine/Pitched-Blade impellers and fluted/L-shaped sparger.
03
Wide range of measurement and control options, including temperature, pH, dO 2,   dCO 2, redox, antifoam, level, conductivity, weight, cell density (total cells, viable cells).
04
Modbus digital sensors reduce background noise and guarantee quick response time.
05
Suitable for batch, fed-batch and continuous processes.
06
LEM01, the PLC-based control system supplied with the unit, integrates 4 fixed or variable speed peristaltic pumps.
07
Powerful and accurate (1 RPM) brushless motor.
08
LEM01, the PLC-based control system supplied with the unit, integrates 4 fixed or variable speed peristaltic pumps.
09
Different gas mixing strategies with up to 5 TMFC and/or solenoid valves.
10
Gas out can be optionally integrated with a condenser with Peltier Cell.
11
Extremely compact system maximizes lab space.

Frequenty Asked Questions

The ONE benchtop bioreactor combines high quality with affordability, offering precise control of essential process parameters in a 2 L version. The IO benchtop lab scale bioreactor is compact and user-friendly, requiring only an electrical connection, and is available in 200 and 1000 mL sizes. The JUPITER benchtop lab scale bioreactor is a highly configurable and adaptable solution, providing a more flexible platform than ONE or IO, with a capacity range of 2 to 10 L. Depending on your needs, Solaris Biotech can offer you a solution.

A single-wall bioreactor regulates temperature using a cooling finger and a heating blanket. Cold water from a chiller (or tap water) flows through the cooling finger when cooling is needed or warms the heating blanket when heat is required—this applies to both ONE and JUPITER bioreactors.
In contrast, the double-wall JUPITER bioreactor uses a jacket filled with water for thermoregulation. The water inside the jacket is heated by resistors at the bottom or cooled by water from a chiller (or tap water), ensuring precise temperature control.
For the IO bioreactor, thermoregulation is managed by a Peltier cell, allowing for a fully electric temperature regulation system.

JUPITER bioreactors are available in both single- and double-wall configurations, whereas the IO is exclusively supplied in a double-wall setup and the ONE as single-wall.

The JUPITER bioreactor is available in 2, 4, 6.5, and 10 L, offering both single- and double-wall configurations. The IO bioreactor comes in 200 mL and 1 L, exclusively in a double-wall setup, while the ONE is only available in 2 L, supplied solely in a single-wall configuration.
