Biological experiments often are very costly. Therefore it would be a huge benefit to do them in small scale. But where do we get equipment for such experiments?

So we decided to build a small scale bioreacor system ourselfs that fits with all common requirements on bioreactors. For the first step we designed pumps and stirrers to supply our cultures with medium and oxigen.

-Along these lines of the great german physician we developed our DIY bioreactor system. Combinig the modularity of easy assembled components and a wide field of possible applications, we are aiming to help spread biotechnology, from university into schools and community labs.

-Currently the system includes several pumps, e.g. for harvest or aeration, stirrers and an OD analysis unit. But due to the open implementation of the control software and a plausible communication protocol, extensions are easily possible. Therefore the only limitation is your imagination!
