Microbioreactor technology is accelerating and increasing automation capabilities with the launch of the BioLector XT Microbioreactor, which features high flexibility, enabling more applications in the BioLector series of instruments from m2p-labs — part of Beckman Coulter Life Sciences’ Biotechnology Business Unit.

Equipped with FlowerPlate microtitre plate technology, the BioLector XT Microbioreactor enables high-throughput strain screenings, cultivation parameter monitoring and feeding strategy optimisation. It is suitable for microbial, fungal and algal cultivations with real-time evaluations of biomass, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and fluorescence for aerobes and anaerobes.

Features include disposable 48-well microtitre plates (MTPs) with online measurements and a simultaneous pH control and feeding managed by patented microfluidic technology. The microbioreactor includes flexible combinations of feeding profiles with customisable protocol settings.

Another powerful feature is the ability for gassing with up to 100% oxygen, due to an innovative lid which also allows for anaerobic fed batches. The gassing lid is designed to reduce gas consumption and provides an airtight anaerobic chamber. The chamber can be used in combination with the microfluidic module to design and test pH-regulated fed-batch microbiome processes without the need to house the system in an anaerobic tent.
