Overview

Product overview

The GF-J series are benchtop glass fermenters for precision microbial fermentation, medium screening, process parameter optimisation and verification of production processes and strains. Six models offer nominal volumes of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 L in high-silicon borosilicate glass vessels with 316L stainless steel lids, and a working volume of 65 to 80% is recommended.

A servo motor drives top-entry mechanical or magnetic stirring at 0 to 1000 rpm with three layers of adjustable impellers. Aeration uses a stainless steel ring sparger, a glass rotameter and a Sartorius 0.2 µm sterilising filter. Temperature is controlled with a PT-100 probe, built-in heater and external cooling water, while steam-sterilisable Mettler or Hamilton electrodes measure pH and DO online, with peristaltic pumps for acid, base, feed and antifoam addition. Feeding supports 10-segment programs linked to DO.

A Siemens PLC with colour touch screen runs the system, and vessels can be sterilised on or off site. Options include multi-channel feeding, feed weighing, oxygen-enriched bypass, redox and exhaust gas analysis.
