The Kbiotech BioBook Parallel is a high-capacity bioprocessing system designed to operate up to twelve independent bioreactors from a single control rack. Engineered for the intensive R&D requirements of the cultivated meat industry, it enables rapid media optimisation and process screening by allowing researchers to test a vast array of variables—such as growth factor concentrations or scaffolding materials—simultaneously under identical conditions.
This platform eliminates the bottleneck of sequential experimentation, significantly accelerating development timelines. With a modular architecture that scales from two to twelve vessels (50 mL to 20 L each), it provides statistically robust data for scale-down modelling. The system ensures that process parameters developed at this benchtop scale, including KLa correlations, translate accurately to industrial-scale production.
Each vessel functions with complete independence via FPGA PLC-based control and SmartBioFlex™ software. This allows for precise, individualised regulation of pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature across every unit. RFID-based vessel recognition simplifies workflows by automatically configuring parameters for glass, single-use, or stainless steel vessels, reducing manual setup errors and ensuring high-density cell culture consistency.
The BioBook Parallel supports advanced perfusion and continuous operation modes, integrated with ATF and TFF filtration modules. This is critical for achieving the high cell densities required for cost-effective cultivated muscle and fat production. The system is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, providing the secure, auditable data trails necessary for food safety regulatory submissions.
Suitable for high-throughput screening, media optimisation, and pilot-scale process development. The BioBook Parallel is the essential infrastructure for labs seeking to rapidly de-risk and refine their cultivation protocols.
