Air inlet pipe used to meet the oxygen demand of a culture. Allows a sterile gas stream to be sparged into the vessel. This is a “sintered frit” or “stone” type sparger which can be used when high gas flows might cause shear damage. The 316L sintered bead porous sparger generates very small bubbles, resulting in very efficient gas transfer. Supplied with 15 Micron sparge tip. Includes 10 mm Hex Nut, Washer and 8.5 x 2.5 mm Silicone O-ring.

Compatible with 2 – 20 litre Vessel base.

The air overlay pipe can be used for either gas outlet or gas overlay. The latter use is for headspace aeration (separate from or in combination with sparging gas through the culture). Includes 10 mm Hex Nut, Washer and 8.5 x 2.5 mm Silicone O-ring.

Compatible with 2-20 Litre Vessels, 10 mm port.

Attaches to the tip of the Sparger Tube, this 316L stainless steel sintered tip is available in a variety of pore sizes. The 15 Micron pore frit is the standard size supplied with the sparger tube. Other sizes available upon request (see table). Includes 2.6 x 1.9 mm Silicone O-ring.

The septum holder is equipped with a silicone rubber septum and can be used as a universal addition port by piercing it with one or more needles. Includes 20 x 2.0 mm Silicone O-ring.

Compatible with 2 – 7 litre vessels, 18 mm port.

The media inlet triple port allows you to equip one M18 x 1.5 mm threaded port with three addition ports (e.g. for acid, alkali and anti-foam addition). This device can be used to expand the number of entries beyond the number of ports in the headplate. Includes 20 x 2.0 mm Silicone O-ring.

This height adjustable sample pipe assembly consists of an assembly holder for 6 mm tubes (B4-71002-2T9-M10), and a 6 mm OD x 0.78 mm ID sample tube.

This sample pipe has a very small dead volume. The height adjustable sample pipe can be used with or without a sample screen. If it is used without a sample screen, the small dead volume of the pipe guarantees samples from the culture that are representative for the reactor.

If a sample screen is used at the end of this pipe, cell-free samples can be drawn from the culture. Sample screens are available in several pore sizes.

Compatible with 7-20Litre Vessel, 10mm Port.

Vessel operation at elevated temperature combined with aeration of the culture might cause too much evaporation during a run (increasing the nutrient concentration and decreasing volume); this can be prevented by using an air-outlet condenser. Includes Teflon spacer AS-111 Silicone O-ring and B4-72001-2T7-M18 Headplate fitting shown.

Standard 6 mm tube fittings for attaching the cold water tubing can be hooked up to either a standard bench water supply or to a recirculating chiller pump.
