Marine organisms, particularly microalgae and macroalgae, have become a focal point in global research, with cell and tissue culture techniques being extensively explored. Among these, certain secondary metabolites, such as halogenated terpenoids, are widely studied.
The BioBench photobioreactor offers versatile solutions for the cultivation of algae.

Centrally-Inserted LED Light Source

To meet the cultivation requirements of algae or photosynthetic organisms, an LED system compatible with glass vessels is available. This system can be integrated with specialized vessel lids and agitation mechanisms to upgrade conventional bioreactors into photobioreactors.
The LED light sleeve can be sterilized together with the vessel. After sterilization, the LED light module is inserted into the pre-sterilized sleeve (no additional sterilization required).
The LED illumination system can be fully controlled via the integrated controller.
