my-Control bundle
The my-Control bundles are part of Applikons BioBundle range. They are available with 250mL, 500mL, and 1000mL bioreactors for small-scale cultivation. The microbial bundle and the cell culture bundle are ideal setups for your scale-down projects consisting of a MiniBio glass vessel and a my-Control control system.
Features of my-Control bundles
- Parallel processing system
- Turnkey bundle solution
- Modular and configurable bio-reactor system for multiple applications
- Generate more data in less time
- Easy setup and operation
- Cultivate using less medium and less bench space
- Generate scalable results
Specifications of my-Control bundles
Our standard setups are highly sophisticated and can be adapted based on your application. The cell culture and microbial fermentation bundles share many of its components. Nevertheless, there are some differences between the bundles which can be further customized to meet your specific needs.
