Applikon My-Control Fermentation Controller

The Applikon my-Control fermentation controller from Getinge Applikon is an advanced and compact bioprocess controller, specifically developed for small-scale fermentation and cell culture processes. The system is suitable for both microbial and cellular applications and can control bioreactors with a working volume of approximately 50 ml to 3 liters.

Thanks to the integrated web interface, the my-Control is easy to operate via PC, tablet, or smartphone. The system offers full control over all critical process parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), stirring, foaming, and level, and supports advanced control strategies such as autotuning PID control.

The controller is ideal for applications such as screening, medium optimization, process development, and scaling up, where accurate and reproducible results are essential. 🛠️ Technical specifications

This unit was specifically purchased for a pilot project aimed at the production of xylitol from xylan. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled before it was put into operation, meaning this controller was never used, commissioned, or connected to a vessel by us.

Includes manual and license key
This is essentially a brand-new unit at a discount. Ideal for biofuel research, food science, or biochemical research (including yeast or bacterial fermentation).
