CIP vs SIP: Key Differences in Bioreactor Cleaning
If you run a reusable stainless-steel bioreactor, the rule is simple: CIP removes residue, SIP kills microbes, and you need both in that order. For bioprocess engineers and cultivated meat...

Most products require no additional agreements. Cell lines and certain biological materials require a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) on first purchase from each supplier. We handle this digitally - both parties sign online before shipment. Subsequent orders from the same supplier proceed immediately.
The HABITAT Photo Ferment CCT control tower features LED panels essential for transforming your HABITAT research bioreactor into a photobioreactor. This system functions as a photo fermenter, suitable for specialized applications that integrate light into fermentation processes. Photo fermenters enhance bioprocesses through controlled light and optimal conditions, crucial for specific biochemical reactions and microbial activities. For instance, they activate metabolic pathways in microorganisms to produce complex pharmaceuticals or boost the production of vitamins and beneficial metabolites in fermented food products.
The system includes two LED panels, the control unit with all connection options for gas supply, liquid addition, sensors, temperature control, and a tablet for simple and clear operation of the fermenter. In addition to the HABITAT photo ferment control tower, you have the option of connecting CO2, conductivity, and turbidity sensors. The intuitive software allows easy control and monitoring of the bioprocess and associated parameters via a 10.4-inch tablet. Users can select from batch, fed-batch, and perfusion/continuous operating modes, catering to various fermentation techniques. The innovative Chaotic Mixing function enables efficient and homogeneous mixing when required. The control software provides clear calibration management, real-time data visualization, and complete process documentation, ensuring compliance with FDA CFR Part 11 requirements (optional).
Precise and adjustable gassing is achieved through four individual built-in mass flow controllers for four each separate gas line (N2, O2, air, and CO2), enabling flow rates of 0.1 – 20 L / min tailored to fermentation requirements. By using the integrated and freely customizable cascade control system, each gas flow can be automatically adjusted by the software at any time according to the ambient conditions in order to maintain the target parameters. Four integrated Watson-Marlow pumps with adjustable direction and speed offer highest precision and versatility in pumping acids, bases, anti-foam agents, and nutrient solutions for the management of media in photobioreactors and fermentation processes.
The system comes equipped with latest-technology sensors to precisely monitor and control critical bioprocess parameters. The standard sensors included are pH, DO (dissolved oxygen), temperature, filling level, and foam, with options to connect optional sensors like CO2, Conductivity, Turbidity, Viable cell mass, Redox, and Off-gas analysis. The integrated PID control ensures precise temperature regulation at all times, regardless of vessel type (single-wall or double-wall) or fill level. Single-wall glass vessels can be heated with a heating blanket, allowing for accurate temperature settings above room temperature. With the optional use of a cooling finger, it is also possible to achieve temperatures below room temperature. For double-wall vessels, in combination with an IKA thermostat, the temperature range can be freely adjusted between 5–80°C, independent of room conditions or heat generated by the culture itself. The unit features a compact, space-saving design with dimensions of 223 x 402 x 450 mm (WxDxH), cross-platform connectivity, data storage, and a status LED display. Only a control tower and the separately available vessel package make up a functional unit.

Cellag Bio is the structured intelligence layer for cultivated meat R&D — scattered published research distilled into decision-ready records: what worked, what failed, the likely cause, and what to do instead. Before committing budget to a medium, reagent, or cell line, check the evidence behind it: real experimental outcomes and failure modes, not marketing claims.
Search by media, reagent, cell line or species (e.g. "Beefy-9" or "B8") to find the records that use it.
