The KLF Benchtop Fermenter is the only small laboratory fermenter that can be sterilized in-situ.
Three interchangeable glass cylinders with volumes of 2.4, 3.1 and 3.7 litres (steel cylinder with longitudinal viewing glass is available as an option).
Especially suited to scale-up and screening in research and education. It's modular design allows the cultivation of bacteria, plant or animal cells.
