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.
