Description
Stirrer
The stirrer is used for distributing gases and liquids inside the reactor container.
LED panel
Up to four LED panels can be connected, which supply the organisms with light energy. The light intensity can
be set between 10 % and 100 %.
Temperature
The temperature of the reactor container can be controlled via an external temperature control unit or conden-
ser. The tempered medium flows through the outer jacket of the reactor container and specifies the temperature
inside the reactor container.
pH
The pH value can be controlled by using gases (e.g. air, CO
Pumps
