my-Control
The my-Control is our most advanced bioreactor controller for small-scale bioreactors starting at 50 mL (working volume). The system can control bioreactors up to a total volume of 3 L. This versatile controller can be used for cell and microbial cultures and is also available in our sophisticated BioBundles as a ready-to-use bioreactor system. It uses minimal bench space with a footprint of only 19 by 35 cm (W x D). The built-in web server allows the my-Control to be operated by any computer or tablet with a web browser. The selectable colored band on the unit enables the system to be personalized and to fit your laboratory.
Features of the my-Control
- Parallel processing with Multi Reactor Interface
- Control of all bioprocess parameters, including pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, agitation, foam, and level
- Selectable autotuning adaptive PID control for accurate control when process conditions change during the culture.
- Extended liquid additions options tuned to small-scale cultivation via up to 4 variable speed pumps at the front of the controller
- Enhanced gas addition strategies via 4 mass flow controllers
- Several heating and cooling options for bioreactors and condenser
- USB connection for optional sensors like balances, biomass, fluorophor pH, and DO sensors
- Redox measurements
