USED KBIOTECH GMBH BIOBOOK MODULAR BIOREACTOR
Overview
Description
The KBiotech BioBook™ Modular Bioreactor is a highly configurable benchtop bioreactor and fermenter platform designed for research, process development, and pilot-scale bioprocessing. Built around a modular architecture, the system supports glass, stainless steel, single-use, air-lift, and photobioreactor vessels with working volumes ranging from 50 mL to 20 L on a common control platform.
Powered by Smart-BioFlex™ control software, the BioBook platform offers advanced process automation, real-time monitoring, recipe management, audit trails, and optional 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. The modular design allows users to expand from a single reactor to twin or parallel configurations while maintaining the same control environment, making it ideal for microbial fermentation, mammalian cell culture, vaccine development, and biopharmaceutical process optimization.
