Yifusen Microbial Culture Reactor

Techfors-S is a classic pilot fermentation tank of INFORS, which adopts a fully computerized touch screen controller and a new design, making Techfors have the advantages of small footprint, powerful functions, and fully automatic operation. In addition to standard products, Techfors can also customize special fermentation tanks for customers according to their special needs, greatly meeting their requirements.

1. Easy to operate, only one or two experiments are needed to master it proficiently. The overall structural design is simple, and it is a highly integrated reaction system with fully automatic in-situ sterilization and super flexibility, allowing you to have your fermentation process at will. Among similar products, it occupies a small area and can be moved freely. It has passed multiple quality certifications such as ISO to ensure experimental safety and good cost-effectiveness!
2. New color touch screen design, various operations are clear at a glance; The full computer touch screen navigation control panel is convenient for users to control multiple cans simultaneously. The built-in storage card can store key fermentation parameters and has good scalability.

• Tank specifications: 7.5L/5L, 15L/10L, 30L/20L, and 45L/30L.
• Tank material: Made entirely of 304L stainless steel, with a 316L stainless steel lid.
• Temperature control:Techfors-SHeating is achieved through electric heating or steam heating, and the temperature rises rapidly. The cooling method is jacket water bath cooling. If fermentation below room temperature is required, it can be achieved by matching a chiller or directly introducing tap water. The coolant temperature is+5 ℃~70 ℃. The double-layer jacket of Techfors-S extends all the way to the lowest point of the tank, ensuring good temperature control even for small fermentation volumes.
• Bacterial stirring system: Techfors-S bacterial stirring system adopts mechanical drive stirring system, six blade Rushton type stirring blade, strong torque, and can cultivate filamentous fungi.
• Speed range: 5L and 10 L: 10~1500 rpm; 20L：10~ 1000 rpm。 Control accuracy: ± 1rpm
• The unique central support structure of Techfors-S is different from that of general fermentation systems. This innovative structural design provides operators with a small footprint while maintaining a low footprintconvenientThe operating space allows operators to operate or connect other ancillary devices from any direction of the equipment. The single point support of the tank makes real-time monitoring of tank quality very simple. Techfors-S only requires an additional quality sensor fixed between the support system and the tank to monitor tank quality in real time, providing more parameter basis for your fermentation process.
• Fully automatic in-situ sterilization

Techfors-SThe sterilization of fermentation tanks is fully automated, and the heating method during sterilization is to pass steam into a specially designed double-layer jacket for heating. Steam sterilization is a sterilization method that ensures sterility and safety.

• Sterilization sampling valve

The height adjustable fermentation tank has a bottom sampling and discharging design. The bottom sampling valve is equipped with an independent steam pipeline, and the valve can be opened before and after sampling to complete independent sterilization. The sterilization time can be set on the touch screen.

• If the laboratory cannot provide centralized steam supply, Techfors-S can provide an ultra small volume steam generator. It can be placed next to the reactor or fixed on the support system to move with the reactor. The bottom roller design is convenient for movement; Easy maintenance, pipeline hose design, easy disassembly and cleaning, reducing pollution sources
• Sample pump

Connect to the injection port of the fermentation tank cover through a silicone tube, add liquid samples to the tank, and all pumps can be programmed to count. One cycle of 0-100% time can be set for precise control. Standard configuration includes four high-precision digital peristaltic pumps, which can be timed for continuous cultivation needs; It can be increased to 5 as needed. The maximum injection volume per unit is 48 mL/min at 60 RPM (measured based on the randomly provided injection tube). Breaking through the traditional lateral arrangement of peristaltic pumps, INFORS' four peristaltic pumps adopt a lateral arrangement, which is the result of INFORS' long-term experience accumulation. Because there is a possibility of pump tube rupture in peristaltic pumps under long-term operation, the lateral arrangement of peristaltic pump system can effectively avoid the impact of liquid leakage on the pump head.

• Air Intake method

The rotary flowmeter controls the gas flow rate, and can choose a mass flowmeter to accurately measure and control the intake air volume. It can choose a single gas (air) or a gas mixing station (Air/O2). The inlet and outlet filters are 0.2um membrane filters.

• Techfors-S uses Gasmix gas mixing station and MFC thermal mass flowmeter to accurately monitor the concentration and flow rate of the intake gas, and together with multiple parameters such as mixing speed, tank pressure (with optional pressure kit), and feeding, achieves programmed and precise control of PO2 through multi-step cascade, making the fluctuation of PO2 control very small. The gas introduced is mixed through the Gasmix gas mixing station before passing through the MFC, ensuring precise and stable supply pressure and concentration. All components of the gas supply system, including MFC, Gasmix gas mixing station, pressure reducing valve, pressure gauge, etc., are installed openly on the side of the main control unit, making it easy for users to further modify or upgrade the gas supply system while using Techfors-S.
• Real time recording of biological reaction processes, supporting online monitoring and remote monitoring of all parameters, with real-time curves. In addition to basic process monitoring methods, IRIS software can also be programmed for control, which can feedback control another parameter through changes in conditions such as one parameter, alarm information, and inoculation time. There is also a unique tracking fermentation function that can completely reproduce the previous fermentation process, better achieving the goal of repeated fermentation. Can be used in conjunction with exhaust gas analyzer to display fermentation process parameters such as CEROURRQKLA in real-time by adding calculation parameters.
• In the jacket, the steam and water paths enter separately, and the steam spirals up through thin tubes with small holes distributed on them. The steam can be evenly released and flow inside the jacket, effectively preventing adverse effects on the culture medium caused by local high steam temperature.
• The filter membranes at the inlet and outlet of the tank are both installed on the side, saving a lot of space on the tank cover and making it easy for users to operate and clean. To reduce the concentration of culture medium caused by water evaporation during biological cultivation, the outlet cooler of Techfors-S Cell is specially designed with built-in air guide screw to ensure condensation effect
