THE ERGONOMIC BIOREACTOR | HABITAT research

Looking for new standards in mixing, temperature control, automation, safety and design? Here comes the perfect HABITAT HABITAT research is the new smart laboratory bioreactor from IKA. As the first bioreactor with a lid stand, it ensures ergonomic working and a tidy laboratory. In combination with a circulator, it is also your fermenter. And if you connect light panels, your new photobioreactor.

3 | HABITAT Unique features Unique features HABITAT research creates optimal conditions for cell cultivation and microbial fermentation. Choose between single-walled and double-walled vessels and volumes from 0.5 to 10 liters. BIOREACTOR, FERMENTER OR PHOTOBIOREACTOR Depending on the type of cells to be cultivated, you can use HABITAT as a bioreactor, fermenter or photobioreactor. It can be combined with our thermostats or with light panels. This guarantees a reliable and strong service from a single source. LID STAND The lid stand makes test preparation easier as the lid does not have to be...

4 | HABITAT Unique features INDIVIDUAL PID HANDLING With HABITAT research, you as an admin have PID handling in your own hands and thus more room to maneuver for scaling growth processes. If you change tempe r ture values, the software simulates the consequences of the change for the pro a cesses. So you don't have to be a simulation expert yourself. HEATING SLEEVE OR CIRCULATOR The temperature control of your bioprocess is carried out with a heating sleeve for single-walled glass vessels. The mantle of double-walled glass vessels can be precisely tempered by means of our proven circulators,...

5 | HABITAT Unique features CALIBRATION SUPPORT The intelligent calibration management of HABITAT research makes the calibration of temperature, pH and DO sensors easy. Even inexperienced users can perform calibrations independently with the step-by-step instructions. Each calibration is automatically documented. 4 + 1 PUMPS HABITAT research has 4 integrated peristaltic pumps – e.g. for acid, base, antifoam, nutrient. There are two running directions. The speed can be variably adjusted via the set flow rate, which improves dosing. Automatic tube filling adds convenience and increases reproducibility....

1 | CHOOSE CONTROL UNIT For the operation of HABITAT research you only need one control unit package and one vessel package. For sensitive cell cultures such as mammalian cells, select the cell variant of the control unit, with gassing rates of 0 – 2000 cc/min. If you are using HABITAT as a fermenter, we recommend the ferment variant, with gassing rates of 0 – 20 000 cc/min. If you decide to use the photobioreactor, the photo version is perfect for you. The addition "cct" in each package indicates there are connection options for 3 additional sensors: turbidity, CO2 and conductivity. Application...
