Parallel Power for Smarter Selection

Suitable for both fermentation and cell culture, the BioCompact is the smart choice when you need high throughput, parallel cultivation, and scalable performance, all in a compact, efficient system.

The real strength of the BioCompact lies in parallel processing. Powered by BOS 3.0, the BioCompact can run up to 32 parallel fermentations, enabling high-throughput experimentation, rapid strain screening, and efficient process optimization. Thanks to its stackable design, multiple controllers can be combined to scale parallel workflows without expanding lab space.
